Quick Alignment (Optional)
This optional method of completing the Print Head Alignment process is basically just completing the
alignment process by only printing the pattern twice and is most accurate when rst setting up your
printer. This process can prevent you from repeating the print 3 times or more.
The process is completed properly by estimating how far the alignment
is offby using the test printout and determining which way the Print
Head needs to be aligned. In other words, your printout may be off to
one side or the other; depending on which side, you can assume that a
particular entry entered, in the LFP Remote Panel, will shift the
alignment towards the desired side. Note: If completing a Uni-
Directional Alignment, you will only see the lines patterns, however, if
completing a Bi-Directional Alignment, you will also see color
swatches.
Doing this once, however, will not get the complete results on the
printout, leaving you to only enter them again and again etc., until
the alignment nally prints correct.
This option allows you to assume that you need to enter this number in 3 times (for example) before even
needing to complete another printout.
Note: Completing the “estimation” process too many times can “over
shoot” the alignment causing it to be off the opposite way.

colors.
For this example (Bi-Directional), enter the number 9.
If entering the number 9 for all elds, the printout
should look something like this example. You would
enter 1 for all elds if the pattern was ipped vertically.
You would enter 5 in all elds if 5 on the printout was
the closest to the desired perfect box.
For this example (Uni-Directional), enter the number
9. If entering the number 9 for all elds, the printout
should look something like this example. You would
enter 1 for all elds if the pattern was opposite as
shown (the line on the right would be slightly above
the one on the left in each set). You would enter 5 in all
elds if 5 on the printout was the closest to the desired
perfect box.
For this pattern,
you would enter 9
for all values. If you
were to print the
alignment out again,
the patterns will
look similar to the
following pattern.
The pattern is closer
to the desired box,
however, it is not close
enough for a good
alignment. Entering 9
for all values again will
bring the pattern closer,
and without having to
reprint the pattern.
After entering in 9
three times, the pattern
will give you a much
more desired print
out of the alignment
pattern, leaving you
to only printout the
pattern twice versus
three or more times.
