If you notice broken vertical lines or deviation in colors in your prints, print
a printhead alignment patterns and align the printhead. Before printing a
printhead alignment pattern, make sure A4 or Letter size paper is loaded in
Cassette 1.
Follow the procedure below to align the printhead.
Always load A4 or Letter size paper in Cassette 1. If paper is not loaded, the
pattern will print on the platen and will smear ink inside the printer and onto other
paper.
You do not need to select the media size on the operation panel. The paper is force
fed from Cassette 1 to print the pattern.
