Manual Pen Alignment

Pen Alignment should be performed when a new printhead is installed. If you experience a decrease in print quality with an installed printhead, you may need to perform this service.

•Load 4 pieces of blank, unprinted media into the input hopper.

•Click the Align button, and 2 discs will load to the belts and be printed.

•Select the Alignment Speed. 20ips is the recommended setting.

•Use these discs to select the patterns that are best aligned in the next window, as shown to the right. All 8 entries must be made. In the example shown, the first 3 selections have been made.

•After selecting the patterns with the best alignment, click Align.

•The pen alignment discs will print again. The best aligned

patterns should have moved closer to the center (they do not need to be in the center, only closer to the center than the original set of discs). If so, click Cancel. If not, enter the values from the second set of discs and click OK; you will need to load 2 more blank discs.
