ADJ B/C HEAD HEIGHT
This function matches the height of the B head nozzles and C head nozzles.
Assuming the B head nozzles are correct, The printer prints a test pattern and
if the two sets of lines do not match up vertically, you need to adjust the height
of the C head using the Head Adjust Lever B.
1. Make sure "BC Slant Check End" appears in the LCD, and press Enter.
2. After the check pattern prints, "BC Slant Check End" appears in the LCD.
Compare the printed pattern with the illustration below. Press Enter if the
adjust level is OK like the top row. 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.
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 "BC Slant Check End" appears, and press the Enter button if
the check pattern prints with no misalignment. Press the SelecType or Item
button if the printed pattern contains misalignment and you have adjusted
the heads. (You may need to repeat.)
