# Aligning the Print Head Position

Print head alignment corrects the installation positions of the print head and improves deviated colors and lines.

The procedure for performing print head alignment is as follows:

## Print Head Alignment

1. Open the printer driver setup window

2. Click Print Head Alignment on the Maintenance tab

   A message appears.

3. Load paper in the printer

   Set the paper thickness lever to the left, and load a sheet of A4 size or Letter size plain paper into the rear tray.

4. Execute head alignment

   Follow the instruction in the message.
   The Print Head Alignment dialog box opens.

5. Check the printed pattern

   Enter the numbers of the patterns with the least amount of streaks in the associated boxes.
   Clicking the patterns with the least amount of streaks in the preview window, will automatically set their numbers in the associated boxes.

   When you have entered all the necessary values, click OK.

   Note

   - If you look at the print results and still cannot determine which pattern is the one with the least amount of streaks, see your printer manual.
