Aligning the Print Head Using the Product
Control Panel
If your
printouts become grainy or blurry, or you notice misalignment of
vertical lines, you may need to align the print head using the
product control panel.
Make sure roll paper or cut sheet
paper is loaded in the printer. You need at least this much paper
to print the adjustment pattern:
Roll paper: 11.2 inches (285 mm)
Cut sheet feeder: 1 sheet of paper sized A4
(8.3 × 11.7 inches [210 × 297 mm])
or larger
Press the home button, if
necessary.
Do one of the following:
Roll paper: Select the roll
paper information area and select Media
Adjust > Print Head Alignment -
Manual.
Cut sheet: Select Paper Setting > Cut
Sheet (1 sheet) > Media
Adjust > Print Head Alignment -
Manual
Select Start to print the adjustment pattern.
Follow the instructions on the LCD
screen to select the best patterns for each set of adjustment
patterns and select OK. The
screen displays a confirmation message and returns to the home
screen.
