Aligning The Print Cartridges; Improving Print Quality - Lenovo 5110 User Manual

Aligning the print cartridges

Typically, you only align print cartridges after installing or replacing a cartridge. However, you may
also need to align cartridges when:
• Characters are not properly formed or are not aligned at the left margin.
• Vertical, straight lines are wavy.
To align the cartridges:
1
Load plain paper.
2
Open the Lenovo Solution Center. For help, see page 11.
3
From the Maintenance tab, click Align to fix the blurry edges.
4
Click Print.
The Alignment page prints.
If you have to manually align the cartridges, you must select the best alignment values from
the printed page.
a Find the number under the darkest arrow for each alignment group.
b Use the arrows in the Align Cartridges dialog box to select the number that matches the
darkest arrow on the printed page for each alignment group.
c Click OK.
If the alignment page does not print, make sure you have completely removed the sticker
and transparent tape from both cartridges. For help, see page 45.
