Adjusting the Printhead
Adjusting the Printhead Alignment Manually
If printed vertical lines are warped or colors are out of alignment, adjust the Printhead alignment. Adjust the
Printhead alignment automatically or manually by using a printed test pattern.
You can adjust the Printhead alignment automatically or manually. Normally, choose automatic adjustment. If
using special media or printing does not improve even after performing automatic adjustment using advanced
adjustment, try manual adjustment. For instructions on automatic adjustment, see “Adjusting the Printhead
Alignment Automatically”. (→P.599)
Follow these steps for standard manual adjustment of the Printhead.
Note
• If Manual Head Adj is unusable although displayed in the menu, choose Advanced Adj. in Auto Head
Adj. Manual Head Adj is available in the menu after you try Auto Head Adj. once.
