Aligning the Print Head

If you notice vertical lines are not aligned properly on the nozzle check result, you may be able to solve this problem by aligning the print head.

You can align the print head from the control panel, or from your computer by using the Print Head Alignment utility included with your product software.

Follow the steps below to align the print head using the buttons on the control panel. However, to align the print head more accurately, use of the Print Head Alignment utility is recommended.

1.Make sure that this product is turned off.

2.Make sure that the adjust lever is set to the m position.

3.Load A4 paper in the sheet feeder.

4.Press the P On button while pressing the Copy button.

An alignment pattern is printed.

5.Look at the alignment pattern and find the patch which is most evenly printed, with no noticeable streaks or lines. Press the Copy button until the number for that patch appears in the LED window.

6.Press the x Start B&W button to confirm your selection.

7.Repeat steps 4 and 5 for each of the other alignment patterns printed by the product. (This product should print four alignment patterns.)
