How Do I Align Printheads?
If the printheads are not correctly aligned, poor quality printing will result.
To align printheads, you will need to use the HP Designjet System Maintenance
utility. This is normally installed when you install the software (printer driver) for
your printer from the HP Designjet 30 & 130 series Printers Software Setup CD
or when you install the optional HP RIP.
For some functions, the HP Designjet System Maintenance utility requires an
Internet connection, but you do not need this connection to perform printhead
alignment.
See “Tell Me About HP Designjet System Maintenance” on page 43.
To align the printheads:
1. Make sure that you have at least 5 sheets of A4 or Letter paper in the input
tray.
2. Start the HP Designjet System Maintenance. To do this, refer to “How Do I
Use HP Designjet System Maintenance?” on page 22.
3. Select Maintain printheads, then Align printheads.
4. The printer will print a printhead alignment sheet. Check that the sheet
printed has a tick on it. If it does not, repeat the process.
