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 connected over a network, to
use the Print Head Alignment utility. Follow these steps:
1. Make sure the printer is plugged in but not printing, and
letter-size or larger paper is loaded.
For the best results, load EPSON ink jet paper in the
printer whenever you check the print head alignment.
Don't use plain, recycled, or photocopier paper.

Windows taskbar, then select
menu that appears.
If you have an application running, you can also run the
Print Head Alignment utility by accessing the printer
settings dialog box. Click the Utilities tab, then click the
Print Head Alignment button.
