good as it was before—for example, you see misaligned
vertical lines or light or dark horizontal banding—you may
need to align the print head.

set is the most even, with no streaks or lines. (You may need
to use a magnifying glass.)
6. Press or to highlight the number for the best square (1
to 9) in set #1. Then press to move to #2.
7. Press or to highlight the number for the best pattern (1
to 9) in set #2.
8. After you have entered the number for the best square in
each set, press
OK
.
PictureMate aligns the print head and
displays a message when alignment is done.
Note:
The numbers that you enter become the default settings
(#5) the next time you align the print head.

or
Back
to return to the Maintenance menu.
Taking PictureMate With You
The handle on PictureMate makes it easy to carry PictureMate
short distances (from one room to the next, for example). If
you take your PictureMate a longer distance, you should pack
it carefully to make sure it isn’t damaged.
Caution:
To avoid damaging your PictureMate, keep it
out of the sun and don’t leave it in your car or other
location where it can get too hot.
1. If PictureMate is on, press
On
to turn it off.
2. Wait until the LCD screen goes blank, then unplug the
power cord from the outlet.
3. Remove paper from the paper support and output tray.
