Aligning the Print Head

If your printouts contain misaligned vertical lines, you may need to align the print

head.

Note: You can also use a printer software utility to align the print head right from

your computer. Select the ? or Help button on your printer settings window for

instructions running the print head alignment utility.

1. Make sure the EPSON Stylus CX3200 is turned on and not printing, and the

Error

light is off.

2. Load plain, letter-size paper in the sheet feeder.

3. Press a

button until you see

Head Alignment

, then press the

Color Copy

button to print an alignment page.

4. On the test page, select the pattern with the two vertical lines most precisely

printed on top of each other. You may need to use a magnifying glass or loupe.

Select one pattern each for rows 1, 2, and 3. (In this example, pattern 8 is the best

in each row.)

5. Press the

Value

buttons to select the number of the best pattern for the first

row, then press the

Color Copy

button. Repeat this step for the second and third

rows.

Note: If you select a pattern other than 8 in any row, that pattern becomes

pattern #8 the next time you align the print head.

6. When you’re finished, press the

Stop

button.
