Caring for your print cartridges

The Align Cartridge dialog box appears on your screen. Depending on the cartridge combination you have installed in your printer, a test page with one or more alignment patterns is printed. Each pattern has a number under it.

Below are example test patterns. If you are installing a Color and Photo cartridge set, only test patterns A and B appear on your screen.

A

B

C

D

3 From each alignment group on the test page, locate the number under the alignment pattern that comes closest to forming a perfectly straight line.

For example, in sample group A above, pattern 5 comes closest to forming a straight line.

4 In the Align Cartridges dialog box, enter the numbers from the printed test page (that you chose in step 3) as the appropriate alignment settings.

5 After you have entered a number for all of the patterns, click OK.

6 Repeat steps 2-5 until the patterns print to your satisfaction.
