and adjust
the print head position.
Choose from
Auto (standard)
or

for automatically adjusting the print head.
Minor warping and misaligned colors can usually be improved by executing

Manual Adjustment to Straighten Lines and Colors
When you execute
Auto (standard)
or
Auto (advanced)
, the adjustment pattern is printed, and the print
head position is adjusted based on the printing result automatically.
Important
• If the problem, such as misaligned lines, is conspicuous, or other problem, such as color unevenness,
•
is not solved after executing
Print Head Alignment
, execute
Print head angle adjustment
and then
execute
Print Head Alignment
again.
• Because the results of adjustment vary depending on the type of paper used for adjustment, use the
same type of paper as you will use for printing.
• This function is not available with Tracing Paper, Translucent Matte Film, or Clear Film.
• When using cut sheets, do not move the release lever until instructions (guidance) for removing the

paper are displayed.
Moving the release lever during printing or maintenance operations will cause the printer to stop.

after new head
is set to
ON
, print head position adjustment is automatically executed after print head
replacement.

position between nozzles and colors. To ensure high-quality printing, we recommend that you execute
