Verify H2H Y Alignment — verifies whether the print heads are aligned with each other (in the
horizontal or Y-axis dimension) in-line or staggered, by printing a test pattern. If the lines print on
top of each other, the heads are in-line; if they print interleaved with each other, the heads are
staggered. The current Y alignment is shown in the About screen (to access it, press the printer
name in the top center of the Front Page screen).
