Aligning the Print Heads
If you notice a misalignment of vertical or horizontal lines, you
may be able to solve these problems from your computer using
the Print Head Alignment utility in the printer software.
If you are using DOS or you cannot align the print heads with
this utility, see Appendix A.
Note:
Do not start the Print Head Alignment utility while printing is in
progress; otherwise your printout may be marred.
For Windows users:
1. Make sure paper is loaded in the sheet feeder.
c
Caution:
Use paper at least 210 mm (8.27 inches) wide; for example,
A4 size paper loaded short edge first. Otherwise, the print
heads will spray ink directly onto the platen. This may
cause any documents you print afterwards to be smeared.
2. Access the Utility menu as described in Chapter 4.
3. Click the Print Head Alignment button.
4. Follow the messages on your screen to align the print heads.
