Aligning the print cartridges
The printer automatically aligns print cartridges whenever a new print cartridge is installed.
However, if your printout is grainy, has stray dots, jagged edges, or the ink is bleeding into
another color on the page, you can realign the print cartridges.
For Windows
You can align the print cartridges from the Toolbox or the printer driver.
