Aligning the Print Head
If your printouts contain misaligned vertical lines, you may need to align
the print head.
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 in the printer
whenever you check
the print head
alignment.

Alignment utility in your printer software. Your printer must be connected
to a local port, not on a network, to use this utility.
If you are using DOS, see Using the DOS Print Head Alignment Utility or
