Printhead alignment
Overview
When aligning the printhead, it is important to keep in mind that the printhead mounting screws should be
initially loose enough to just hold the printhead in the printer. This allows the pages to be printed that will be used
to align the black plane to the printer frame and also allows skew adjustment with the printhead alignment screw.
Once the black skew is adjusted, the mounting screws are fully tightened.
There is one printhead that houses the four color planes. The black plane is aligned to the printer, and the color
planes are internally aligned to black. Electrical alignment is done to fine tune the alignment of the color planes
to the black plane once the printhead is installed and skew is adjusted.
The first step in aligning the printhead is to loosen the printhead mounting screws, and to set the skew for black.
Note: If you need to replace the printhead, see
“Printhead removal, installation, and adjustment” on
