Print head alignment corrects the installation positions of the print head and improves deviated colors and lines.
This machine supports two head alignment methods: automatic head alignment and manual head alignment.
Normally, the machine is set for automatic head alignment.
If the printing results of automatic print head alignment are not satisfactory, see "Aligning the Print Head Position Manually from Your Computer," and perform manual head alignment.
The procedure for performing automatic print head alignment is as follows:
Note
If the inner cover is open, close it.
The pattern is printed only in black and blue.
