Aligning the Print Head Position Automatically from Your

Computer

Print head alignment corrects the installation positions of the print head and improves deviated colors and

lines.

This machine supports two head alignment methods: automatic head alignment and manual head

alignment. Normally, the machine is set for automatic head alignment. If the printing results of automatic

print head alignment are not satisfactory, perform manual head alignment.

The procedure for performing automatic print head alignment is as follows:

Print Head Alignment

Select Test Print from the pop-up menu on the Canon IJ Printer Utility

Click the Print Head Alignment icon

A message is displayed.

Load one sheet of A4 size or Letter size plain paper into the front tray.

Note

•

The number of sheets to be used differs when you select the manual head alignment.

Print head alignment pattern printing

Make sure that the machine is on and click Align Print Head.

The adjustment pattern is printed.

Important

• Do not open the paper output cover while printing is in progress.

5. Adjustment pattern scanning

Load the adjustment pattern onto the platen, and press the Start button on the machine.

Print head alignment starts.

Note

• After head alignment is completed, you can print and check the current setting. To do so, click the

Print Head Alignment icon and when the message is displayed, click Print Alignment Value.
