After the alignment test page is printed, examine it to decide which numbered bar looks

most like the gray bar at the top of the test page.

Locate the bar on your test sheet that looks most like the bar at the top of
your test sheet. If you see several look-alikes next to each other, choose the
one in the middle.

Type the number of the best bar in this dialog box.

After you click OK, the Color StyleWriter Pro prints your document.

Note: After the printer prints your document, the Check Alignment option is
automatically turned off. You don’t have to turn it off before printing again.

Replacing the print head

The print head is the device that takes the ink from the cartridges and sprays
it on the paper. You installed a print head when you first set up your printer
and it lasts for thousands and thousands of pages. You should replace it if you
notice that the Color StyleWriter Pro is leaving horizontal stripes on your
documents that you cannot fix by cleaning the print head. You can purchase a
new print head from your Apple-authorized service provider.

IMPORTANT

Before replacing the print head, try cleaning and super-cleaning

the print head, as described earlier in this chapter.

1

Turn off the printer, but leave it plugged in.

2

Lift up the printer cover.

3

Remove all four ink cartridges and set them on a clean piece of paper.

IMPORTANT

Be careful not to touch the ink holes in the cartridges, or you may

be stained with ink.
