Epson SureColor T-Series User's Guide Maintenance complete. In manual adjustment, you need to check the pattern and enter the optimum adjustment value for alignment. Manual alignment can be used with cut sheets or other paper that does not support auto alignment or if auto alignment does not fix the problem completely. Printing the pattern for manual head alignment takes from 7 to 11 minutes. The time required varies with the size of the pattern printed. Uni-D and Bi-D head alignment are available in both auto and manual modes. Bi-D is recommended in most circumstances. Choose Uni-D if Bi-D head alignment does not completely fix the problem. O From the computer A computer can be used for auto head alignment. In most cases, head alignment can be performed successfully with just this operation. We normally recommend this method as this is the simplest method. Auto head alignment takes about 30 minutes to complete. Manual head alignment can be performed from the printer's control panel if you are using cut sheets or other paper that does not support auto alignment or if auto alignment does to fix the problem completely. Note: Head Alignment is adjusted according to the paper currently loaded in the printer. Load the paper for which head alignment is required. Note, however, that auto head alignment is not available with the paper or in the circumstances listed below. O Transparent or colored media is loaded in the printer.
