Aligning the Print Head
If printed ruled lines are misaligned or print results are otherwise unsatisfactory, adjust the print head
position.
You need to prepare: a sheet of A4 or Letter-sized Canon Matte Photo Paper MP
-101
Note
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.
See
Replacing an Ink Tank
.
If you run out of supplied paper (Canon Matte Photo Paper MP-101) or the specified Canon genuine
paper is not immediately available or obtainable, you can use plain paper and align the Print Head
manually.
Refer to the on-screen manual: Advanced Guide
.
The print head alignment pattern is printed in black and blue.

alignment pattern.
