TIP: Use the same substrate you intend to print on to align the printheads. WARNING! Colored substrates, 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. Reinsert printheads procedure 1. If the printhead alignment process is running and the wrong substrate is loaded, press the Cancel button on the front panel. CAUTION: Do not print if the printhead alignment process has been canceled. 2. Load the substrate you want to use. Photo paper is recommended for the best results. WARNING! Colored substrates, glossy canvas, and transparent materials such as translucent bond, clear film, tracing paper, and vellum are not suitable for aligning the printheads.

Colored substrates, 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 Image quality maintenance > Align printheads > Auto PH alignment. The printer verifies that a sufficient amount of substrate exists to perform printhead alignment. 74 Chapter 8 Troubleshoot ink-system issues ENWW
