Aligning the Print Head

If printed ruled lines are misaligned or print results are otherwise unsatisfactory, adjust the print head position.

Note

  • If the remaining ink level is low, the print head alignment sheet will not be printed correctly.

    If the remaining ink level is low, refill ink tanks.

  • If ink runs out as the print head alignment sheet is printed, an error message appears on the LCD.

You need to prepare: a sheet of A4 or Letter-sized plain paper

  1. Check that printer is turned on.

  2. Load a sheet of A4 or Letter-sized plain paper in cassette.
