Check the Quick Test Page for any sign of misalignment by checking the diamonds at the top left and top
right of the test page for equal distance from the top of the page. If necessary, rotate the printhead to the
left or right and tighten down the mounting screws and check for proper alignment again by running another
Quick Test Page. This procedure may take two or three attempts before you get satisfactory results.
6 When you have the correct adjustment, ensure that the printhead mounting screws are properly tightened.
Alignment assembly adjustment
Do the alignment assembly adjustment whenever you replace the alignment assembly. Always print a copy of
the Quick Test Page before making any adjustments to the alignment assembly reference adjustment screw.
When replacing the alignment assembly, it is necessary to back the reference adjustment screw out far enough
to remove the old assembly and install the new one.
• If you are replacing the alignment assembly, go to step A.
• If you are only adjusting the reference adjustment screw, go to step B.
Step A
Print a copy of the Quick Test Page and check the margin adjustments printed on the test page. These settings
should be within the range specified in
“Registration” on page 263.
Do the reference adjustment if you are sure the margins are set correctly.
1 Loosen the locknut on the inside rear of the alignment assembly.
2 Remove the two screws holding the alignment assembly to the left side frame.
