7.Press the , or ) control panel keys repeatedly until the num- ber next to the pattern that is closest to aligned perfectly is displayed.

For example, if pattern +2.0 is the closest aligned, press the , key to change the display to:

HEAD-1 +2.0

If a printhead is extremely out of alignment, there may be no pattern in alignment. Since the black vertical bars are nominally five pixels apart, you can add +5 or -5 to a pattern number to shift the colored bars right or left by one black bar. Alternatively, you can perform the BiDi Registration repeatedly, which will move the head in smaller increments, until the head is aligned.

8.Press ! (Proceed).

The control panel message increments the head number by one.

9.Repeat steps 6 through 8 for each of the twelve heads.
