Aligning the Print Head

If you notice a misalignment of vertical lines, you may be able to solve this problem from your computer using the Print Head Alignment utility in your printer software.

Note:

Do not start the Print Head Alignment utility while printing is in progress; otherwise your printout may be marred.

Make sure paper is loaded in the sheet feeder.

Caution:

Use paper at least 210 mm (8.27 inches) wide; for example, A4 size paper loaded short edge first. Otherwise, the print head will spray ink directly onto the platen.

Access the printer software window. If you need instructions, see Accessing the printer software.

Click the Utility tab, then click the Print Head Alignment button.

Follow the messages on your screen to align the print head.

Make sure A4 or wider paper is loaded in the sheet feeder.

Click the Utility icon button in the Print dialog box. Then click the Print Head Alignment button.

Follow the messages on your screen to align the print head.
