Examining the Nozzle Check Pattern
Examine the nozzle check pattern you printed. Each staggered line should be solid,
with no gaps, as shown.
■ If your printout looks okay, you’re done.
■ If you see any gaps (as shown below), clean the print head again.
Aligning the Print Head Using the Computer
If your printouts contain misaligned vertical lines, or you see light or dark horizontal
banding, you may need to align the print head.
1. Make sure PictureMate is connected to your computer, and turned on but not
printing.
2. Load several sheets of PictureMate Photo Paper.

corner of your screen). Select Print Head Alignment.

Utility

Alignment.
