Figure 6-40: Comparing rows of alignment lines
Note: It does not matter which pair of lines you inspect, since they were all
printed by the same head. Choose a pair of clearly printed lines for the
inspection. (Since some nozzles may not print clearly, you may have to
inspect several pairs of lines to properly view the alignment.)
