1. Load the paper you want to use. Photo paper is recommended for the best results. Plain; bond; and thin,
coated papers are acceptable, but provide marginal results.
WARNING! Colored papers, glossy canvas, and transparent materials such as translucent bond, clear
film, tracing paper, and vellum are not suitable for aligning the printheads. However, if you must
perform printhead alignment with a material that is not supported, make sure you use a material with
the same thickness as the material you are going to use for printing.
2.
Go to the front panel and select the
icon, then select Align printheads. The printer checks that a
sufficient amount of paper exists to perform printhead alignment.
