Epson Stylus Pro 9000 - Printer Setup After Transport

EPSON Stylus Pro 9000 Revision B
Adjustment Adjustment Steps 120
ADJ X HEAD SLANT (B/C HEADS)
This function prints a check pattern (one-at-a-time for each head) to make sure
the printheads are installed straight up-and-down. If the pattern confirms one or
both heads are offset, at a slant, use the corresponding "Head Adjust Lever A"
to straighten the slanted head.
1. Make sure "Adj: x Head Slant" appears in the LCD, and press the Enter
button. (x = B or C depending on the printhead)
2. After the check pattern prints, "x Slant Check End" (x = B or C head)
appears in the LCD. Compare the printed pattern with the illustration
below. Press Enter if the adjust level is OK like the top row shown below. If
there is a slant, open the front cover, release the carriage lock by hand,
and move the carriage away from the carriage cap position. Next, loosen
the screw securing the head that is printing at a slant, and move the Head
Adjust Lever A left or right depending on the slant direction. Tighten the
screw. (The C head pattern prints with different colors.)
3. After finishing the slant-adjustment procedure for both heads, move the
carriage back to the capping position by hand and close the front cover.
4. Make sure "x Slant Check End" appears, and press the Enter button if the
check pattern prints with no slant. Press the SelecType or Item button if the
pattern contains slants and you have adjusted the heads. (You may need
to repeat.)
