Aligning the Print Head Position
Print head alignment corrects the installation positions of the print head and improves deviated colors
and lines.
This machine supports two head alignment methods: automatic head alignment and manual head
alignment. Normally, the printer is set for automatic head alignment.
If the printing results are unsatisfactory even after you execute automatic head alignment, see "
Print Head Alignment," and execute manual head alignment. To change to the manual head alignment,
click Custom Settings on the Maintenance tab, and then check the Align heads manually check box.
