Adjusting the Printhead
Manual Straightening of Lines and Colors (Manual Head
Adj)
If printed vertical lines are warped or colors are out of alignment, adjust the Printhead alignment.
With
Manual Head Adj , you can manually adjust the Printhead alignment by printing and reading a test pattern.
You can adjust the Printhead alignment automatically or manually. Normally, choose automatic adjustment. If
advanced adjustment does not improve printing results, or if you are using special paper, try manual adjustment.
For instructions on straightening lines and colors automatically, see “Automatic Straightening of Lines and Colors
(Auto Head Adj.)”. (→P.544)
