Using the Print Head Alignment Utility
Follow these steps to run the utility (Windows or Macintosh):
1. Make sure the printer is turned on and paper is loaded.
Caution:
Load paper that's at least 8.27 inches (210 mm) wide. This
prevents ink from spraying inside the printer and smudging your
printouts. For the best results, load EPSON ink jet paper to check
your alignment.
2. Access the printer settings dialog box.
3. Click the Utility tab (Windows) or the Utility button
(Macintosh). You see the Utility menu.
4. Click the Print Head Alignment icon.
5. Follow the instructions on the screen to print a test page
and select the correct alignment.
