Align the Printheads

Align the Printheads
Printhead alignment is usually performed after installing a new print cartridge. However, if the
black portions of a graphic or text do not align properly with the color portions, you need to
realign the print-heads.
An example of aligned and misaligned printheads follows:
Aligned
To align the printheads:
1) Open the OKI JET 2010 printer control dialog box.
2) Click the Cartridges tab.
3) Click Align Cartridges .
The Align Cartridges tab appears on your screen and the printer prints a test page with
horizontal patterns and vertical patterns. Each pattern has a number located beneath it.
An example follows:
Horizontal Alignment of Heads
Vertical Alignment of Heads
Bi-directional Alignment Pattern (Black)
Bi-directional Alignment Pattern (Color)
4) Using the printed test page, select the number of the patterns that are aligned correctly.
In our example
3 is the correct choice for Horizontal Alignment
4 is the correct choice for Vertical Alignment
3 is the correct choice for the Bi-directional Alignment
for both black and color.
5) Enter the number located under each pattern into the boxes on the Align Cartridges tab.
