[Align printheads] - [Automatic] 

About this task

  • When you have replaced one or several printheads.

  • To help you to solve specific print quality issues, as described in the chapter Troubleshooting.

IMPORTANT

When you perform this procedure, the manual alignment values that you entered earlier are set to zero (See Align printheads - Manual (horizontal)).

Procedure

  1. On the user panel tap on [System].
  2. Tap on [Maintenance].
  3. Tap on [Align printheads].
  4. Tap on [Next].
  5. Select [Alignment type] [Automatic] and tap on [Next].
  6. The user panel displays the default printhead overlap value, defined in WebTools Express. The printhead overlap value sets the number of printhead nozzles that overlap between two adjacent printheads. Adjust the value, if necessary. Select the media roll to use and tap on [Start].
    NOTE

    It is recommended to select the media type that you used when the problem that you want to solve occurred. The minimum media width to align the printheads is A0 (841 mm).

  7. The automatic printhead alignment test print is printed and the user panel displays a message when the automatic printhead alignment is finished. Tap on [Finish] to close the wizard.
