Aligning the Printhead
Aligning the Printhead
If printed vertical lines are bent, or if the colors are faded
and uneven, perform the printhead position adjustment.
The printer will adjust the position of the printhead
automatically as it reads the pattern used to adjust the
position of the printhead. Before you adjust the position of
the printhead, make sure a roll or cut sheets A3 (L) size or
wider are loaded in the printer.
Use the following procedure to adjust the position of the
printhead.
Note
When you adjust the printhead, you should use the
media of the type (other than film) that you use most
frequently.
If you are using cut sheets, make sure at least one
sheet of unused A3 paper (not the blank sides of used
paper) or larger are set.
