ensure the best print quality. However, if the appearance of your printed pages
indicates that the printheads are misaligned, you can start the alignment process
manually.

then press OK. Press OK when the alignment is done to continue.

Toolbox (Windows): Click the Services tab, and then click Align Printheads and
follow the onscreen instructions.
