    Solution

      If ruled lines are printed misaligned or print results are otherwise unsatisfactory, adjust the print head position.

      1. Make sure that the machine is on, and then load a sheet of A4 or Letter-sized plain paper in the Auto Sheet Feeder.

      2. Press the Maintenance button repeatedly until P appears.



      3. Press the Black or Color button.
      The machine prints the head alignment sheet.

      4. Beginning from column A on the printout, fill in the appropriate circles ( ) with a dark pencil to select the most solid image.



      (1) Column A
      (2) Good example (Most solid box)
      (3) Bad example (Least solid box)

      5. Load the checked sheet on the Platen Glass.
      When loading the checked sheet, place the front side down, and align the upper left corner of the sheet with the alignment mark on the lower right corner of the Platen Glass.

      6. Press the Maintenance button repeatedly until U appears.



      7. Press the Black or Color button.
      The machine scans the pattern and aligns the Print Head automatically.
      NOTE
      If you select L in step 1, the machine prints the current Print Head Alignment setting.
