Aligning the print head
To prevent deterioration of print quality caused by misalignment
of the print head, align the print head before you start printing
your data. You can align the print head either manually or
automatically. Try the automatic print head alignment first. If the
print head is still misaligned, try to perform the print head
alignment manually.
