light horizontal bands, you may need to align the print head.

1. Load a few sheets of plain paper in the product.
2. Press the home button, if necessary.
3. Select Maintenance > Print Head Alignment.
4. If your printout contains misaligned vertical lines or is blurry, continue with the next step. If your
printout contains horizontal banding, go to step 7.
5. Select Vertical Alignment and follow the on-screen instructions to print an alignment sheet.
6. Check the printed pattern on the alignment sheet and for each set of patterns, select the number
representing the pattern with the least amount of separation or overlap.
7. Select Horizontal Alignment and follow the on-screen instructions to print an alignment sheet.
8. Check the printed pattern on the alignment sheet and select the number representing the pattern
with the least amount of separation or overlap.
