Calibrating the Printer
Your printer has been calibrated at the factory so that vertical
lines in your text and graphics are properly aligned. If you
notice misaligned images in printouts, however, you can
calibrate the printer as described in the following sections. You
may need to do this after moving the printer to a new location,
for example.
Before calibrating, verify that your printer needs it by printing
a demonstration page. Turn off your printer; then hold down
the
Cleaning
O button as you turn the printer back on.
Continue holding down the
Cleaning
O button for a few
seconds after turning on the printer. Examine the
demonstration printout; if vertical lines are truly misaligned,
calibrate your printer. Do not calibrate your printer too often.
