If vertical lines on the printed document are misaligned or a color shift occurs, adjust the print head position.
When Print Head Alignment - Auto is performed, the adjustment pattern will be printed and the print head position is automatically adjusted based on the print result.
Since the adjustment result depends on the type of paper, adjust with the paper used for printing.
Paper with high transparency, and photo paper with a glossy finish cannot be used.
If the remaining ink level is low, the print head alignment sheet will not be printed correctly. Refill the ink tanks whose ink is low.
You will need a paper roll at least 11.69 in. (297.0 mm) wide.
Make sure to match the paper loaded in the printer with the paper type setting in the printer. If the loaded paper is different from the paper type setting in the printer is different, the print head will not be adjusted correctly.
