Adjusting the Printhead Alignment Automatically
If printed vertical lines are warped or colors are out of alignment, adjust the Printhead alignment. Adjust the
Printhead alignment automatically or manually by printing and reading a test pattern.
There are two modes for automatic adjustment: Standard Adj. and Advanced Adj.. Standard Adj. will x
most slight image distortion or color misalignment, but if not, try Advanced Adj..
If using special media or printing does not improve even after performing automatic adjustment using
advanced adjustment, try manual adjustment. For instructions on manual adjustment, see “Adjusting the
Printhead Alignment Manually”. (→P.455)
Follow these steps for standard automatic adjustment of the Printhead.
1. When using sheets, have an unused sheet A4/Letter-sized or larger ready when Standard Adj.
is selected or 5 when Advanced Adj. is selected.
When using a roll, load a roll 10 inches (254 mm) or wider.
