Aligning the Print Head
If your printouts contain misaligned vertical lines, you may need to align the print
head. Your printer must be connected to a local port, not on a network, to use the
Print Head Alignment utility.
If you are using DOS, follow the instructions on page 36 instead.
Follow these steps:
1. Make sure the printer is turned on and letter-size paper is loaded.
Load paper that’s at least 8.27 inches (210 mm) wide. This
prevents ink from spraying inside the printer and smudging
your printouts.
For the best results, load EPSON ink jet paper in the printer
whenever you check the print head alignment.
2. Access the printer settings dialog box as described on page 13 (Windows) or
page 17 (Macintosh).
3. Click the Utility tab (Windows) or the Utility icon (Macintosh). You see the
Utility menu.
4. Click the Print Head Alignment icon.
5. Follow the instructions on the screen to print a test page and select the correct
alignment.
