Aligning the Print Head

Aligning the Print Head positions allows you to print without shifts in the color registration.
Print head alignment is performed either automatically or manually. This section deals with
automatic Print Head alignment only.
Automatic print head alignment cannot be performed from the Front Tray.
Always load paper in the Auto Sheet Feeder.
Ensure that the Inner Cover is closed.
Aligning the Print Head Without a Computer
The Print Head can also be aligned from the printer itself. If the printer driver
is not installed in the computer, align the print head in this way.
1. With the printer on, load two sheets of Letter-sized plain paper in the Auto
Sheet Feeder.
2. Hold down the RESUME/CANCEL button until the POWER lamp flashes
green four times, and then release it immediately.
Two pattern sheets are printed. Do not open the Top Cover while printing.
