Aligning The Print Head - Epson Stylus Color 740i Printer Basics Manual

Aligning the Print Head

If your printouts contain misaligned vertical lines, you may need to use the Print
Head Alignment utility in your printer software. Your printer must be connected
to a local port, not on a network, to use the Print Head Alignment utility. Follow
these steps:
1. Make sure the printer is turned on and paper is loaded.
Caution:
Load paper that's at least 8.27 inches (210 mm) wide. This prevents
ink from spraying inside the printer and smudging your printouts.
For the best results, load EPSON ink jet paper in the printer
whenever you check the print head alignment.
