Correcting Print
Misalignment (Head
Alignment)
Given that there is a slight gap between the print head
and the media, the landing sites for the different colors
of ink may be affected by humidity, temperature,
inertial forces imparted by the print head, or the
direction of the print head as it moves from right to left
or left to right. As a result, print results may appear
grainy or out of focus. When this happens, perform
Head Alignment
to correct the print misalignment.
The thickness of the media determines the distance
between the media and the print head.
Head Alignment
values can be stored separately for each type of media.
Stored values can be recalled instantly the next time the
media is used.
For Head Alignment, you need to check the pattern and
enter the optimum adjustment value for alignment.
