If adjustment is not possible as expected using special media, try another type of paper, or try Manual adjustment.

as you will use for printing.

•
If Standard does not improve printing, try adjusting the printhead manually.
(See "Manual Adjustment to Straighten Lines and Colors.")
•
If the printhead position was not adjusted during initial setup or when the printhead was replaced, execute Initial ad-
justmt.

Advanced adjustment can enable superior printing quality when printing fine lines or text at high precision on glossy or
