Click Print Head Alignment from the Utility

Preferences) screen.
Follow the on-screen instructions.
The sensor reads the adjustment pattern while
it is printing, and automatically registers the
optimum adjustment value to the printer.
Check the adjustment results to confirm if
graininess or misalignment recurs in the
printed image.
If you are not satisfied with the adjustment
results, perform manual adjustment from the
printer.
U “From the printer” on page 128
From the printer
To perform Head Alignment from the printer, make
adjustments in the following order.
(1) Execute Paper Thickness.
(2) Select automatic or manual adjustment, and then
execute the adjustment.
Note:
When printing a Head Alignment pattern, it prints
with the black ink currently selected in the printer,
regardless of the type of paper loaded.
When printing the pattern on glossy paper with Matte
Black ink, try not to rub the printed surface as it is
difficult to fix Matte Black ink on glossy paper.
Before starting this procedure, be sure to read the
following:
