Important:
Select 2.5 only if print results are still smudged
when 2.0 is selected. Choosing a larger gap than
required may result in ink stains inside the printer,
reduced print quality, or shorter product life.

Head Alignment

Select Head Alignment to correct print head
mis-alignment when print results seem grainy or out of
focus.
The Head Alignment menu contains two options: Auto
and Manual.
Auto head alignment aligns the head automatically
using data collected by a sensor while a test pattern is
printed.
In manual adjustment, you need to check the pattern
and enter the optimum adjustment value for alignment.
This section details the steps involved in auto head
alignment.
Align the head manually if you feel that auto head
alignment has not completely resolved the problem.
For more information on manual head alignment, see
"Correcting Print Misalignment (Head
U
Alignment)" on page 46.
Note:
Head Alignment varies with the media used. Load the
media that will be used in the actual print job. Head
alignment is not available under the following
conditions:
❏ The media is transparent or colored.
❏ The printer is exposed to direct sunlight or
interference from other ambient light sources.
Shade the printer from sources of interference.
❏ 2.5 is selected for Platen Gap in the setup menu.
Choose another option for Platen Gap.
Head Alignment may also fail to produce the expected
results if the nozzles are clogged. Perform head cleaning
to remove any clogs.
