Send the file PHALIGN6.FLS (Printhead Mechanical Alignment Test Page) from the CD to the printer to
verify printhead alignment.

If the printhead alignment is within ±5 for both front and rear positions, then proceed to electronic
adjustment procedure. If not, repeat steps 12 through 15, until alignment is within ±5.
If you are replacing the black printhead, make sure on the test page that black is within ±5 and also within
±1 between the front and rear side. For example, if the rear looks like it is at +3, then the front should be
b2 and +4.
Note: When replacing the black printhead there is no Z value to reset. After the black printhead is
mechanically aligned to the magenta printhead, it will be necessary to electronically align the three color
printheads to the new black printhead.
