• Uni-D aligns each color for uni-directional printing based on Light Cyan.
• Bi-D 2-color aligns each color for bi-directional printing based on Light Cyan and Vivid Light
Magenta.
• Bi-D All Color aligns each color for bi-directional printing based on all colors.
• Bi-D #1, Bi-D #2, Bi-D #3, and Bi-D #4 perform the most detailed adjustments based on the size
of the ink dots. Run all four adjustments in order from Bi-D #1 to Bi-D #4 to ensure that the printer

The alignment process starts.
Note: Do not open the front cover or turn off the printer during the alignment process.
When the automatic head alignment process is complete, your product should be properly aligned. If it is
not, select a different alignment method and repeat the process. If your printer still is not properly
aligned, perform a manual head alignment.
