Aligning the Printhead

Part of the setup procedure for a new S900 photo printer includes aligning the printhead. Occasionally, you may need to realign it, as determined by the results of a nozzle check pattern (see “Printing a Nozzle Check Pattern” on page 24.)

To align the printhead in Windows:

1.Make sure the printer is on and paper is loaded.

2.Click Start, then Settings, then Printers.

For Windows XP, click Start, then Control Panel, then Printers and Other Hardware, then Printers and Faxes. The Maintenance tab may vary for Windows 2000 and Windows XP. Follow the instructions when prompted.

3.Right-click the Canon S900 printer icon, then click Properties.

4.Click the Maintenance tab, then click

Print Head Alignment. When asked to start printhead alignment, click OK.

5.Follow the on-screen instructions to print an alignment pattern.

6.From each column of the printed alignment pattern, select the most uniform pattern and enter the number in the corresponding field.

7.Click OK to complete printhead alignment.
