Aligning the Print Head
If printed ruled lines are misaligned or print results are otherwise unsatisfactory, adjust the print head position.
If the remaining ink level is low, the print head alignment sheet will not be printed correctly. Refill any low ink tanks.
You need a sheet of A4 or Letter-sized plain paper.
-
Make sure the printer is powered on.
-
Load a sheet of A4 or Letter-sized plain paper in the cassette.
-
Press the Setup 
button, use the 
buttons to select Maintenance, and press the OK button.
-
Use the buttons to select Head alignment, and press the OK button.
-
Select Print Head Alignment - Auto.
The print head alignment sheet is printed, and the print head is aligned automatically.
This takes about 1 to 2 minutes.
If the print results are still not satisfactory after adjusting the print head position as described above, adjust the print head position manually.
To print and check the current head position adjustment values, select Print the Head Alignment Value on the Maintenance screen.
