alignment and prints an alignment pattern.
NOTE: Make sure the printer window is closed during printhead alignment.
4. The process takes about 10 minutes. Wait until the front panel shows that the process is complete
before using the printer.
Scan errors during alignment
If the alignment process fails, a Scanning problems message appears on the front panel. This indicates that
the alignment was not completed successfully. Therefore, the printheads are not aligned and the alignment
should be repeated before printing. The problem might be because of one of the following scenarios:
The type of paper used in the printhead alignment process was not acceptable. Repeat the alignment
process using one of the recommended paper types.
The printheads are not clean. Clean the printheads. See
Clean the printheads on page 174.
The printer window was open during the printhead alignment process. Repeat the alignment process
with the printer window closed.
If the problem persists after following the recommended remedies, try replacing all of the printheads. If the
problem persists after replacing the printheads, a failure in the scanning system may exist.
