Aligning The Print Head - Epson Stylus Photo RX500 User Manual

Aligning the Print Head

If your printouts look grainy or vertical lines appear jagged, you may need to align
the print head.
Note:
You can also use the buttons on the RX500 to align the print head (see the on-screen
Reference Guide for instructions). For best results, we recommend you use the print
head alignment utility, as described in this section.
1. Make sure the RX500 is turned on and not printing, and the
is off.
2. Load several sheets of plain letter-size paper (see page 13 for instructions).
3. Do one of the following:
