Aligning the Print Head If your printouts look grainy or blurry, or you see light or dark lines, you may need to align the print head. Note: You may also see lines in your printouts if your cartridges are low on ink or you need to clean the print head. Before you align the print head, make sure the CD/DVD tray is not inserted in the printer, and make sure the front tray is in the paper (lower) position. See page 8 for details. 1. Turn on the printer. 2. Make sure none of the lights are indicating errors. See page 57 for more information. 3. Load several sheets of plain, letter-size paper. 4. Do one of the following: ■ Windows: Right-click the printer icon on your taskbar (in the lower right corner of your screen). Select Print Head Alignment. ■ Macintosh: Open the Applications folder and select EPSON Printer Utility2. Select SP R260 Series in the printer list, click OK, then select Print Head Alignment. 5. Follow the instructions on the screen to print the alignment pattern. You see a window like this one: 54 Maintaining Your Printer
