Adjusting The Printhead Alignment Manually - Canon iPF720 User Manual

Adjusting the Printhead Alignment Manually

If printed vertical lines are warped or colors are out of alignment, adjust the Printhead alignment. Adjust the
Printhead alignment automatically or manually by using a printed test pattern.
You can adjust the Printhead alignment automatically or manually. Normally, choose automatic adjustment. If
using special media or printing does not improve even after performing automatic adjustment using advanced
adjustment, try manual adjustment. For instructions on automatic adjustment, see "Adjusting the Printhead
Alignment Automatically". (→P.491)
Follow these steps for standard manual adjustment of the Printhead.
