Adjusting the Printhead Alignment Automatically
If printed vertical lines are warped or colors are out of alignment, adjust the
Printhead
alignment. Adjust the
Printhead
alignment automatically or manually by printing and
reading a test pattern.
There are two modes for automatic adjustment:
Standard Adj.
and
Advanced
Adj.Standard Adj.
will
fi
x most slight image distortion or color misalignment, but if
not, try
Advanced Adj.
If using special media or printing does not improve even after performing automatic
adjustment using advanced adjustment, try manual adjustment.
Follow these steps for standard automatic adjustment of the
Printhead
.

or
fi
ve when
Advanced Adj.

When using a roll, load a roll 10 inches (254 mm) or wider.
Note
•
Use
Standard Adj.
if you have switched to another type of paper or if you want the
boundaries between colors to appear as attractive as possible.
•
Use
Advanced Adj.
to
fi
ne-tune the space between nozzles or colors if you have
switched the printhead or if you want printed documents to appear as vivid as
possible. We recommend using
Advanced Adj.
for printing at a higher level
of image quality.
•
Always make sure the loaded paper matches the media type setting on the printer.
Adjustment cannot be completed correctly unless the setting value matches the
loaded paper.
•
We recommend using the type of paper you use most often for adjustment.
