Maintaining Your Printer

Aligning the Print Head

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

head. Your printer must be connected directly to your computer (not over a network)

to use the Print Head Alignment utility.

Load plain paper that’s at least 21.0 cm (8.27 in) wide to prevent ink

from spraying inside the printer and smudging your printouts.

1. Make sure the printer is turned on, but not printing, and letter-size plain paper is

loaded.

2. Do one of the following:

■

Windows: Right-click the printer icon on your taskbar (in the lower right

corner of your screen) and select

Print Head Alignment

■

Macintosh OS 8.5.1 to 9.x: Open the File menu and choose

Page Setup

Print.

Then click the

Utility

button. In the Utility menu, click the

Print Head Alignment

button.

■

Macintosh OS X: Double-click the

Applications

folder on your hard drive.

Double-click

EPSON Printer Utility

, select the

C42 Series

printer in the

Printer List window, and click

. Then click the

Print Head Alignment

button.

3. Follow the instructions on the

screen to print a test page. You see

this window:

4. On the printed page, select the

pattern that shows the two vertical

lines most precisely printed on top

of each other. You may need to use

a magnifying glass.

Select one pattern each for rows 1,

2, and 3. Then enter the number of

the best pattern for each row in the

corresponding boxes on the screen.
