If banding appears on your prints, if they look grainy or blurry, or if you see misregistration or "ghosting," you need to align the print head. Although you can align the print head using the printer utility software, aligning the printer from the control panel will quickly and automatically perform the most thorough alignment. 1. Make sure the printer is turned on, and that the printer is loaded with the included Epson Doubleweight Matte paper. Note: Make sure you select the correct paper type on the printer. 2. Press the r Menu button. 3. Press the u or d button to select Maintenance, then press the r button. 4. Press the u or d button to select Head Alignment, then press the r button. 5. Press the u or d button to select Auto, then press the r button. 6. Press the u or d button to select Bi-D All Color. You should start with this type of alignment. 7. Press the OK button to start the alignment process 8. When the bi-directional alignment is completed, repeat this procedure with the Uni-D setting. Each head alignment takes about 10 minutes. The printer's white beam sensor reads the alignment pattern and adjusts the printer automatically. Make sure you don't open the front cover or turn off the printer during this process.
