Aligning Ink Cartridges

Your printer automatically prompts you to align the ink cartridges when they are installed or replaced. To verify your ink cartridges are aligned, you can print an alignment page. After you

close the printer unit, press the Menu button . The alignment page begins printing. During printing, the operator panel display reads Printing alignment page. When complete, the message reads Automatic Alignment Complete. Your ink cartridges are now aligned for optimal print quality.
