Epson StylusPro10000 User Manual

Before you use the printer, you should align the print head to ensure 
accurate, clean printouts. You can run the Print Head Alignment utility at 
this point to check software installation and make sure your printer is set up 
correctly.

You may have to run the Print Head Alignment utility several times before 
your printer is ready to use. Make sure that you’ve run a nozzle check, as 
described on page 1-9, before you begin. If the print nozzles are clogged, the 
print head alignment patterns won’t print correctly and your print head 
alignment won’t be accurate.

There are two ways to align the print head:

•

Using the Print Head Alignment utility in your printer software, as 
described below (not available if you’re accessing the printer over a 
network)

•

Using the printer’s control panel buttons, as described on page 6-5

Both procedures align the print head for all modes and resolutions.

1. Make sure the printer is turned on but not printing, and roll paper at 

least 24 inches wide is loaded.

2. Access the printer settings dialog box, as described on page 3-3 

(Macintosh) or page 4-1 (Windows).

Or, with Windows, click Start, point to Settings, and select Printers. 
Right-click your printer icon, then select Properties (Windows 95, 98, 
or Me), Document Defaults (Windows NT), or Printing Preferences 
(Windows 2000).

It’s a good idea always to 
run a nozzle check before 
you align the print head. 
This ensures that the 
print head alignment 
patterns print correctly.
