Use a printer’s loupe to select the pattern, since the lines in the patterns may be difficult to see.

Fig. 4-3. BiDi Registration patterns

(2 heads per color, six color version shown)

5.Press the , or ) control panel keys repeatedly until the number 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:

Bidi registration

Head 1: +2

If a printhead is extremely out of alignment, there may be no pattern in alignment. Since the parallel 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 bar. Alternatively, you can perform the BiDi Registration repeatedly, which will move the head in smaller increments, until the head is aligned.

6.Press ! (Proceed).
