Aligning the Print Head
If your printouts contain misaligned vertical lines, you may need to
align the print head using the Print Head Alignment utility in your
printer software. Your printer must be connected to a local port, not
on a network, to use this utility. Follow these steps:
1 Make sure the printer is turned on and paper is loaded.
2 Start an application and open a document.
3 Access the printer settings dialog box as described in Printing
from Windows or Printing from a Macintosh.
4 Click the Utility tab (Windows) or the Utility icon
(Macintosh). You see the Utility menu.
5 Click the Print Head Alignment icon.
6 Follow the instructions on the screen to print a test page and
select the correct alignment.
Caution:
Load paper that’s at
least 8.27 inches
(210 mm) wide. This
prevents ink from
spraying inside the
printer and smudging
your printouts.
For the best results,
load EPSON ink jet
paper in the printer
whenever you check
the print head
alignment.
