Setting Up the Printer | 59 Note You must use at least a 10× eye loupe to check the pattern. 3. Use your own eye loupe or the one that came with the printer to determine which line is the straightest. In this example, the middle line (numbered 5) is the best choice.

Repeat this process to examine the remaining color groups in row #1: C, M, Lc, Lm, and Y. In each case, select the number of the straightest line, then press Enter. 6. Repeat this process to examine the groups of lines in rows #2 and #3. 7. When done, press Pause to exit the head alignment.
