Aligning the Print Head

If your printouts contain misaligned vertical lines, or you see light or dark horizontal

Note: Banding may also occur if your cartridges are low on ink or you need to

clean the print head.

2. Load several sheets of paper.

3. Windows: Right-click the printer icon on your taskbar (in the lower right

corner of your screen). Select Print Head Alignment.

icon. Select C84 Series in the printer list, click OK, and select
