Aligning the print cartridge
Following cartridge installation, you should align your cartridge. However,
you may also need to align the cartridge when:
• Characters are not properly formed or are not aligned at the left
margin.
• Lines that should be vertical and straight are printed as wavy.
To align the cartridge using a computer:
1 Load plain paper. For more information, see “Loading paper into the
paper support” on page 27.
2 Open the Lexmark Solution Center. For more information, see
“Using the Lexmark Solution Center” on page 25.
3 From the Maintenance tab, click Align to fix blurry edges.
4 Follow the instructions on the computer screen.
To align the cartridge from the control panel:
1 Load plain paper. For more information, see “Loading paper into the
paper support” on page 27.
2 Press and hold the button for three seconds.
An alignment page prints.
3 Place the alignment page onto the scanner glass. For more
information, see “Placing documents on the scanner glass” on
page 32.

Once scanning is complete, the cartridge has been aligned for
optimal print quality. Alignment must be complete before continuing
with any print jobs.
