Aligning the print cartridges

Whenever you replace a print cartridge, you should align the print cartridges for the best possible print quality. If your printout is grainy, has stray dots, jagged edges, or the ink is bleeding into another color on the page, you can re-align them through the Toolbox or the printer driver.

If you are using a PDA, please connect to a Windows or Macintosh operating system and align the print cartridges according to the instructions below.

•Properties (Windows 98 and Windows Me)
