Use a printer's loupe or magnifying glass if the patterns are
difficult to see.
Fig. 4-4. Sample head calibration patterns
(1 head per color, six color version shown)
5. Press the or control panel keys repeatedly until the
number next to the pattern that is closest to aligned perfectly
is displayed.
For example, if pattern -1 is the closest aligned, press the
key to change the display to:
X Direction Registration
Head 2: -1
If a printhead is extremely out of alignment, there may be no
pattern in alignment. Since the black vertical bars are five
pixels apart, you can add +5 or -5 to a pattern number to
shift the colored bars up or down by one black bar. Alterna-
tively, you can repeatedly perform the X calibration, which
will move the head in smaller increments, until the head is
aligned.
