to troubleshoot the alignment process
If an error occurs after the first alignment page is printed, you may receive an
error message on the display of the front panel or a blank page will print. Verify
the following items:
– Make sure that you have removed the nozzle tape from all printheads.
– Make sure that you are using clean sheets of A4 or letter sized plain
white paper. Do not use special, photo, odd-sized, color, or previously
marked paper.
– If you have two input trays, make sure that you have the plain white
paper loaded in the upper tray.
– Make sure that the paper in the input tray is not skewing during the
printing of the alignment pattern. If necessary, reload the paper in the
input tray.
If an error occurs after you scan the second alignment page, verify the following
items:
– Be sure that you are using the Instructions to Perform 4800 Optimized
DPI Alignment page when performing the scanning process.
– Make sure that you have positioned the second alignment page
properly on the scanner glass. The alignment page should be placed
on the front, right corner of the glass. The scan will fail if the page is
positioned improperly or placed print side up.
– Make sure that the paper in the input tray is not skewing during the
printing of the alignment pattern. If necessary, reload the paper in the
input tray.
After correcting the problem, restart the alignment process.
