If the printout is satisfactory, proceed to the next section, “Print head 
alignment.”
If the nozzle check page does not print satisfactorily (for example, if any 
segment of the printed lines is missing), click 

Cleaning

 to clean the print 

heads.
If print quality hasn’t improved after repeating the nozzle checking and 
cleaning procedures four or five times, contact your dealer.

Print head alignment

The printer will print test patterns, allowing you to 
check if the print head is aligned.
Here are sample printouts.
From each pattern on the printed test sheet, choose 
the vertical line that is aligned best. For each 
pattern, select the corresponding line number from 
the appropriate drop-down list box in the Print 
Head Alignment dialog box, then click 

Finish

 to put 

the new settings into effect.

Note:
If you cannot find a line which is aligned correctly, select 
the number of the line which is the closest to being correct 
and click 

Realignment

. The alignment test sheet will 

be printed again.

Printing Your First Page

After making sure your printer is operating correctly, you are ready to print 
your first page. To familiarize yourself with the printer software, we 
recommend printing one of the sample files provided with your printer 
software. To print a sample file, follow the instructions in this section.
If you choose to print your own document instead, open the document in 
your application, then proceed to step 4 in the relevant section below, 
making changes where appropriate.
