Skew
One printhead houses the four color planes. The black plane is aligned to the printer, and the other color planes are
internally aligned to black. Electronic alignment fine tunes the alignment of the color planes to the black plane once
the printhead is installed. See
“Setting alignment for color” on page 169 for instructions on setting printhead
alignment. This must be performed before color skew adjustment is attempted. The following illustration shows proper
alignment versus skewed alignment.
