Aligning the Print Heads

If your printouts contain misaligned vertical lines, you may
need to align the print heads. There are several ways to do this:
You can use the print head alignment utility in your printer
software, as described below.
You can also use the control panel to align the print heads.
Use one of the utilities if your printer is connected directly to
the computer. Use the control panel if your printer is connected
via an optional network interface card.
