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