Aligning Ink Cartridges
Your printer automatically aligns the ink cartridges when they are installed or replaced. After you close the printer unit, the alignment page prints. If you want to verify your ink cartridges are aligned, you can print an alignment page.
You may also need to align ink cartridges when characters are not properly formed or are not aligned at the left margin, or when vertical or straight lines appear wavy.
To align the ink cartridges from the operator panel:
1.Load plain paper. For more information, see Loading Paper.
2.From the main menu, use the left and right Arrow buttons to scroll to Maintenance.
