Close the printer window.

The front-panel display confirms that all of the printheads are correctly inserted.
The printer starts checking and preparing the printheads. The default routine
process, when all printheads are changed, takes about 18 minutes. If the printer
identifies a problem when preparing the printheads, the process takes longer,
up to 30 minutes. For a single printhead insertion, the time varies between 10
and 20 minutes. After all printheads are checked and prepared, the printhead
realignment procedure runs automatically if paper is loaded. See
Align the
printheads on page 34.
Align the printheads
The printer performs printhead alignment whenever printheads are replaced. If no
paper is loaded when a printhead is replaced, the printer will perform the alignment
the next time you load paper.
Also align the printheads if the Printhead status plot indicates an alignment error.
See
Use the Printhead status plot on page 35.

Make sure that you have a roll of opaque, white paper loaded in the printer.
Colored papers, glossy canvas, and transparent materials such as translucent
bond, clear film, tracing paper, and vellum are not suitable for printhead
alignment.
