Aligning the Print Cartridges

You must align the black and color print cartridges after installing a new print cartridge or if the black portions of graphics do not align with the color portions.

Cartridge alignment can be done from the computer using the SF-4700 Series Control Program or from the front panel of your SF-4700.
