Adjust Print-head Positions

Follow the procedure below to print a test pattern and adjust the print-head positions if vertical lines are printed unaligned or printed colors look blurred.

Note

  • To check the printed test pattern, proceed to step 8.

  • When the envelope selector is not at the correct position, the colors may be printed unaligned.

1Open the printer properties dialog box.

2Click the [Maintenance] tab.

3Click [Adjust Print-head Positions].

4In the [Select a test pattern:] list, select a test pattern.

Note

  • Select a resolution. To adjust print-head positions for all resolutions, repeat this procedure selecting the other resolution.

[High speed/ Standard (speed priority)] is selected here as an example.

5Click [Next >].

6Check that A4/Letter size paper is loaded in the paper tray.

7Click [Next >].

A test pattern to adjust print-head positions is printed.

  • Do not perform other operations during printing.

  • The "High quality" test pattern differs from the "Standard" test pattern.

8Check the optimal adjustment values on the printed test pattern.

Note

  • The optimal adjustment value is the column number that appears above the lightest gray square with straight vertical lines on both sides. When the column number is "+2" for the "A" line, the optimal adjustment value is "+2" for "A".

9Enter the optimal adjustment values.

10Click [Finish].

Note

  • Repeat steps 4 to10 to print the "High quality" or "Standard" test pattern and enter the optimal adjustment values.
