Note

  • We recommend using the same type of paper for print head alignment as for printing.

  • If the remaining ink level is low, the print head alignment sheet will not be printed correctly.

    Replace the ink tank whose ink is low.

You need to prepare: two sheets of A4 or Letter-sized paper
