Clean Printhead
(requires minimum 4” wide continuous stock)
Select this function to clean the printheads and print the Print Quality Report when
complete. The report should show no gaps in the printed output.
Align Printheads
Alignment can be done using plain paper or continuous stock
Plain Paper
(requires 1 sheet 8.5” x 11” plain paper)
Turn the stock mandrel so the flat surface is facing the rear of the printer, then load
the sheet of paper until the printer starts to feed
Continuous stock
(requires minimum 4” wide matte continuous stock)
Matte paper stock must be used when aligning the printheads. Glossy media will
cause the alignment to fail. Load stock normally.
A series of patterns will be printed and scanned, with the alignment done automatically.
If the display reads

, remove the paper or stock.
If the display reads
Alignment Finished
or
