Aligning the Print Head

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

head. Your printer must be connected to a local port, not on a network, to use the

Print Head Alignment utility.

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

loaded.

Load paper that’s at least 8.27 inches (210 mm) wide to prevent ink

from spraying inside the printer and smudging your printouts. For the

best results, load EPSON ink jet paper in the printer whenever you

check the print head alignment.

2. If you have an application running, access the printer settings dialog box as

described on page 8 (Windows) or page 13 (Macintosh).

Or, with Windows, click

Start

, point to

Settings

, and select

Printers

. Right-click

the

EPSON Stylus Photo 780

icon, then select

Properties

(Windows 95,

Windows 98, or Windows Me),

Document Defaults

(Windows NT), or

Printing

Preferences

(Windows 2000).

3. Windows: Click the

Utility

tab.

Macintosh: Click the Utility button.

4. You see the Utility menu. Click the

Print Head Alignment

button.

5. Follow the instructions on the screen to

print a test page. You see this window:

6. On the printed page, select the pattern

that shows the two vertical lines most

precisely printed on top of each other.

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.

7. Click

Realignment

to print another test

page. Make sure the pattern numbered 8

in each row is the best aligned. If not, repeat steps 6 and 7.
