4. When the main menu appears, choose “3, Head angular & linear adjustment” by typing 3 and pressing

ENTER. (The printer prints the check pattern, along with the sample name.)

When replacing the black head, always adjust the black head angle first, because the black - color

head vertical adjustment is based upon the black head angle.

5. In Figure 4-14, the vertical position is correct when both the magenta line and the black line are aligned

(as shown in position OK (0)). If the vertical position is correct, turn off the printer. If the black and

magenta lines are not aligned, perform the vertical adjustment as described in steps 6-10.

❏ The number shown in the sample indicates the thickness level compared to the current

linear spacer. (See * .) There are 11 linear spacers with 11 different thicknesses.

❏ The linear spacer is attached by two pieces, one on each side of the head base. Therefore,

when you need to replace one linear spacer, always replace both linear spacers at the

same time.

❏ When replacing the linear spacer, place it under the angular spacer.

* If necessary, replace the linear spacer. For instance, if your pattern is similar to the pattern

shown under –2, replace the linear spacer with a thinner linear spacer. If your pattern is similar

to the pattern shown under 2, replace the linear spacer with a thicker spacer.

6. Turn the printer off.

7. Move the carriage to the center while pressing the carriage lock lever, and remove the two ink cartridges.

8. Remove the rubber cap that covers a head screw at the side of color ink cartridge, and then loosen (but

do not remove) 3 screws. (Refer to the figure on the next page.)

After replacing the spacer, always install new ink cartridges before returning the printer to the

user. During adjustment, use the ink cartridges exclusively for service (Monochrome: 1020626,

CMY: 1027990 ).
