Minimizing Print Misalignments
(Head Alignment)
Because there is a small distance between the print head
and paper, misalignment may occur due to humidity or
temperature, the inertial force of the print head’s
movements, or by moving the print head
bidirectionally. This may result in grainy prints or lines
that are incorrectly placed. When this happens, perform
Head Alignment to correct the print misalignment.
Although Head Alignment can be performed from the
computer or the printer, the alignment procedures
differ as explained below.
