to accept their alignment now.
This procedure
requires a few centimeters of paper loaded and takes

See page 44 on the

If the printheads do not seem to require alignment,
the printer prints
Diagnostic Print A
, several blocks
of color and a block of thin black broken lines (the
lines are actually very much closer than those
represented here).

Examine the broken lines in Diagnostic Print A
carefully and indicate whether there are problems
with them.
The sorts of problems to look for here are:
Jaggedness or serrations in the thin lines, like
this:
;
the thin lines should be straight, though not
necessarily perfectly aligned.
