Aligning the print heads
IMPORTANT
• Use plain white paper for the alignment procedure.
• If using a cut sheet, use a new sheet of paper that is at least A4 size, and load it
in the vertical direction.
1. Check that the paper for printing has been loaded correctly.
2. Click the [Print Head Alignment] button on the [Maintenance] tab.
3. The printer prints a test pattern, and then automatically aligns the print head posi-
tions.
CAUTION
Ink ejection adjustment is performed during the print head alignment operation.
For this reason, scratchy areas may appear in the printed test pattern, but these
do not indicate a malfunction.
4. When the print head cleaning operation has been completed, print out some data
such as a drawing or text to check that the printing quality has improved.
If there is no improvement in the printed results, perform the print head alignment
operation once again. If the printing quality does not improve even after the print head
alignment operation has been performed several times, replace the print head.
