Aligning the Print Head
If your printouts contain misaligned vertical lines, you may need to align the print
head. Your printer must be connected to a local port, not on a network, to use the
Print Head Alignment utility.
For the best results, load EPSON ink jet paper in the printer
whenever you check the print head alignment.
Follow these steps:
1. Make sure the printer is turned on and letter-size paper is loaded.
Load paper that’s at least 8.27 inches (210 mm) wide. This
prevents ink from spraying inside the printer and smudging
your printouts.
2. If you have an application running, access the printer settings dialog box as
described on page 13.
Or click Start, point to Settings, then select Printers. Right-click the EPSON
Stylus COLOR 660
icon in the Printers windows. Select Properties (Document
Defaults
in Windows NT).
3. Click the Utility tab. You see the Utility menu.
4. Click the Print Head Alignment button.
5. Follow the instructions on the screen to print a test page.
6. Select the most precise alignment pattern from the printed choices on the test
page. Enter the number of the best aligned pattern following the instructions on
the screen.
