If printed vertical lines are warped or colors are out of alignment, execute "Head Posi. Adj." to adjust the Printhead alignment.

Normally, execute "Auto(Standard)", "Auto(Advanced)", or "Auto(Expansion)".

However, when printing on special paper, or if printing is not improved after "Auto(Advanced)", try "Manual".

"Manual" adjustment requires you to examine the printed test pattern and enter an adjustment value.

NOTE

"Manual" may be unavailable in some cases, even if it is displayed in the menu. If so, execute "Auto(Advanced)" once.
Always make sure the loaded paper matches the type of paper specified on the printer. Adjustment cannot be completed correctly unless the loaded paper matches the settings.
We recommend using the type of paper you use most often for adjustment.
