Aligning the Print Head from the Control Panel
You can use EPSON roll paper to print the alignment patterns. Two rows
consisting of sets of 15 bars are printed across the width of the paper. It takes
about 10 minutes to print both rows.
Follow these steps to align the print head using the control panel:
1. Load roll paper that is at least 24 inches wide in the printer.
2. Press the

button until
HEAD ALIGNMENT MENU
is
displayed.
3. Press the

appears on the display.
If you’re using EPSON paper, leave this setting on
STD
.
If you’re using other media, enter the thickness value of the paper in
0.1-mm increments by pressing the

If you want to print a single row of alignment patterns, press the + or –
button until the row number appears. Then press the

gaps.

If bar #8 (the current
alignment setting) shows
the smallest gaps for
both rows, the print head
is aligned. Press Pause to
