Adjusting the Print Head
If printed documents are affected by the following problems, try adjusting the print head.
- Printing is faint or affected by banding in different colors
Execute Print nozzle check pattern in the touch screen menu to check for print head nozzle clogging.
For instructions, see "Checking for Nozzle Clogging."
- Printed vertical lines are warped or colors are out of alignment
Execute Print head alignment in the touch screen menu to adjust the print head alignment.
Normally, execute Auto (standard) or Auto (fine). However, when printing on special paper or if printing is not improved after Auto (fine), try Manual.
- Paper rubs against the print head, or image edges are blurred
Setting Paper Thickness (Head Height) in the touch screen menu and changing the height of the print head may improve the situation.
