cover or a problem with the media.

Printhead alignment
error
This message occurs when the printhead alignment procedure has failed, or the
printer detects a fault that stops the process from completing. Alignment is the first
procedure that prints with the printheads after installation, so some printing
problems may be reported as a Printhead Alignment Error. Most alignment errors
are due to a fault with the printheads, or problems with the media.
