If an unsupported printhead is installed, an Attendance Message is
shown. This can occur if the software keys in the printer and
printhead are incompatible, as in the case of an OEM printer using
Lexmark-branded printheads.
Following a printhead replacement, the printer automatically initiates
an alignment procedure.
Aligning the Printheads
User Alignment
The printheads come from the factory pre-aligned and do not need
to be aligned. However, certain customers may want to align
printheads to achieve real or perceived optimal print quality. To align
the printheads, select Align Printheads from the Utilities Menu. An
alignment page prints. From each section of the alignment page, the
user is required to pick a selection that “lines up” the best. Enter
each selection on the operator panel.
Coarse Alignment
User Alignment should suffice for aligning the printheads. However,
for manufacturing, CE personnel and other cases, Coarse Alignment
may be used. The purpose of the Coarse Alignment is to get the
printheads roughly aligned - User Alignment is for fine tuning. Select
Coarse Alignment from the Configuration Menu. A coarse
alignment page prints. From each section of the alignment page, the
user is required to pick a selection that “lines up” the best. Enter
each selection on the operator panel.
