Correcting Print
Misalignment (Head
Alignment)
"Saving
Given that there is a slight gap between the print head
and the media, the landing sites for the different colors
of ink may be affected by humidity, temperature,
inertial forces imparted by the print head, the direction
of the print head as it moves from right to left or left to
right, or the use of two print heads (all models except
SC-S30600 series). As a result, print results may appear
grainy or out of focus. When this happens, perform
Head Alignment to correct the print misalignment.
The thickness of the media determines the distance
between the media and the print head. Head Alignment
values can be stored separately for each type of media.
Stored values can be recalled instantly the next time the
media is used.
Head Alignment can be performed automatically or
manually.
For more information on automatic feed adjustment,
see U "Head Alignment" on page
In manual adjustment, you need to check the pattern
and enter the optimum adjustment value for alignment.
Align the head manually if you feel that auto head
alignment has not completely resolved the problem.
