Image Quality Maintenance menu procedure
1.
Load the paper you want to use. Photo paper is recommended for the best
results. Plain; bond; and thin, coated papers are acceptable, but provide
marginal results.
WARNING! Colored papers, glossy canvas, and transparent
materials such as translucent bond, clear film, tracing paper, and vellum
are not suitable for aligning the printheads. However, if you must
perform printhead alignment with a material that is not supported, make
sure you use a material with the same thickness as the material you are
going to use for printing.
2.
Go to the front panel and select the
icon, and then select Image quality
maintenance > Align printheads. The printer verifies that a sufficient
amount of paper exists to perform printhead alignment.
