Oscillating printhead assembly electronic adjustment

A step-by-step process to align a new printhead.
Note: Before aligning the printhead electronically, first align the printhead mechanically, if needed. See
"Oscillating printhead assembly adjustment" [on Page 12]
1. Turn the printer off.
2. Press and hold
3. Turn the printer on, and release the buttons when Performing Self Test displays.
4. Select Registration from the menu.
5. Select Quick Test Page. The test page should only be printed on letter or A4 paper from Tray 1. The
Quick Test Page consists of alignment diamonds, horizontal lines that can be used for skew
adjustment, page count setting, printer serial number code levels, and print registration settings. An
example of the printhead alignment printout is shown below:
6. In the Registration menu, select the Right Margin setting.
7. To determine the margin setting, choose the value that is closest to the darkest bar on the center
graph on the margin page. Add that value to the current right margin setting printed on the left hand
side of the margin page (The right margin setting will also appear on the operator panel display under
right margin setting). For example, if the right margin setting on the sheet is -2, and the number that
is closest to the darkest line on the graph is 3, the you would enter (-2+3=+1) The new right margin
setting on the op. panel should now equal +1.
8. Press or to the desired setting, and press
9. Print the Quick Test page again and check that the darkest line in the center graph is equal to zero. If
it is, then check to see if the left, top, and bottom margins are detected. If it is not, then repeat step 7.
Note: The alignment of the left margin positions the black plane to the right or left. The alignment
of the right margin does not alter the margins and should only be used to adjust the printhead.
