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
1. Open the printer driver setup window
2. Click Print Head Alignment on the Maintenance tab
The Start Print Head Alignment dialog box opens.
3. Load paper in the machine
Load one sheet of A4 size or Letter size plain paper into the front tray.
Note
â–  The number of sheets to be used differs when you select the manual head alignment.
4. Print head alignment pattern printing
Make sure that the machine is on and click Align Print Head.
The adjustment pattern is printed.
Important
â–  Do not open the paper output cover while printing is in progress.
5. Adjustment pattern scanning
After the adjustment pattern is printed, a message is displayed.
As instructed in the message, load the adjustment pattern onto the platen, and press the Start button on the
machine.
Print head alignment starts.
