Aligning the Print Head

After you have unpacked and set up your printer, you need to run a print check and align the print head. To use the utility from your printer software, see pages 8-37 through 8-41 in your Reference Guide. To use the control panel, see pages 6-4 through 6-7 in your Reference Guide.

NOTE:

If you experience banding at 720 dpi, run the print head alignment utility several times to improve results.

For optimal printing and to avoid banding, follow these tips:

•Do not use plain paper when you align the print head; only use high-quality EPSON media

•Use a loupe to view the printed lines when determining which set is vertically aligned

•You may need to align the print head up to six times to achieve the best results
