Aligning the Print Head

If your printouts look grainy or vertical lines appear jagged, you may need to align the print head.

1.Make sure the Stylus CX is turned on and not printing, and the Error light is off.

2.Load plain, letter-size paper in the sheet feeder.

3.Press the left Menu button until you see Head Alignment, then press the x Color Copy button to print an alignment page.

4.On the test page, select the pattern with the two vertical lines most precisely printed on top of each other. You may need to use a magnifying glass or loupe.

Select one pattern each for rows 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. (In this example, the best pattern in each row has been circled.)
