Aligning the Print Head
If your printouts contain misaligned vertical lines, or you see light or dark horizontal

clean the print head.
1. Turn on the printer.
2. Load several sheets of paper.
3. Windows: Right-click the printer icon on your taskbar (in the lower right
corner of your screen). Select Print Head Alignment.

icon. Select C84 Series in the printer list, click OK, and select
Print Head Alignment.
Macintosh OS 8.6 to 9.x: From the File menu, select Page Setup or Print. Click
the Utility button, then click the Print Head Alignment button.
