Epson 740 Series Aligning the Print Head

Caution:

Load paper that’s at least 8.27 inches (210 mm) wide. This prevents ink from spraying inside the printer and smudging your printouts.

For the best results, load EPSON ink jet paper in the printer whenever you check the print head alignment.

Aligning the Print Head

If your printouts contain misaligned vertical lines, you may need to align the print head using the Print Head Alignment utility in your printer software. Your printer must be connected to a local port, not on a network, to use this utility. Follow these steps:

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

2Start an application and open a document.

3Access the printer settings dialog box as described in Printing from Windows or Printing from a Macintosh.

4Click the Utility tab (Windows) or the Utility icon (Macintosh).

You see the Utility menu.

5Click the Print Head Alignment icon.

6Follow the instructions on the screen to print a test page and select the correct alignment.
