If the paper type that is loaded is acceptable for printhead alignment, the printer
performs the alignment and prints an alignment pattern.
NOTE: Make sure the printer window is closed during printhead
alignment.

The process takes about 5 minutes. Wait until the front panel shows that the
process is complete before using the printer.
Scan errors during alignment
If the alignment process fails, a Scanning problems message appears on the front
panel. This indicates that the alignment was not completed successfully. Therefore,
the printheads are not aligned and the alignment should be repeated before printing.
The problem might be because of one of the following scenarios:
●
The type of paper used in the printhead alignment process was not acceptable.
Repeat the alignment process using one of the recommended paper types.
●
The printheads are not clean. Clean the printheads. See
Clean the
printheads on page 74.
●
The printer window was open during the printhead alignment process. Repeat
the alignment process with the printer window closed.
If the problem persists after following the recommended remedies, try replacing all
of the printheads. If the problem persists after replacing the printheads, a failure in
the scanning system may exist.
