5-8 | Maintaining and Transporting the Printer
8. Examine the first row (marked
#1 C
). You see a series of patterns similar
to the one below across the width of the paper. Use your own eye loupe
or the one that came with the printer to determine which line is the best.
(Each line is composed of two overlapping colors. Look for the line in
which the colors overlap the most evenly. In the example below,
number 8 is the best line.)
9. Look at the other patterns in the first row to see if the same number is
consistently the best line. If not, determine which number is generally
the best.
10. Check the control panel display. It shows
#1 C=8
, which means that
number 8 is the current setting for row
#1 C
. If you need to change the
setting, use the
+
or
–
button to select the best line for that row. Then
press the
Enter
button to register the setting.
11. Repeat step 8 through step 10 for each additional row.
12. When done, press the
Pause
button to exit the head alignment.
13. If you had to make changes to any of the settings, you should reprint the
alignment pattern to verify that number 8 shows the best line in all rows.
You may have to repeat the adjustment more than once to ensure that
number 8 is the best choice in each case.
Note
You must use at least a

eye loupe to check
the pattern.

Number 8 is the best line

Ideally, number 8 (±1)
should be the best line in
all of the printed patterns.
If it is, you can press
Pause to exit the
adjustment early.
