[. . . ] Look for the pattern that is most closely aligned. | | Aligned | | Not aligned Using a PC Follow these steps to calibrate the printer using a PC: 1. If you did not install the Bi-D Calibration Utility on the hard disk, insert the Windows printer driver diskette in your computer's diskette drive. Make sure Windows Program Manager is running. Type the directory name where the utility is located. For example, type A:CALIBRAT (or C:\directory\CALIBRAT if on your hard disk). When you see the Calibration Utility screen, make sure Stylus Pro or Pro XL is selected as the printer. If it isn't, use or to select it. Also make sure Print calibration pattern is selected at the bottom of the screen. (Use the Tab key to move down, if necessary. ) 6. The next screen prompts you to align the black and color heads. (To align only the black print head, press Tab to select No. ) Wait for 1 minute while the printer prints a page of multiple patterns of vertical lines, each identified by an offset value. In most patterns, the vertical lines are slightly misaligned. Look for the pattern that is most closely aligned. Enter the offset value of the pattern that is most closely aligned in the No. Repeat steps 4 and 5, selecting the Pattern 2 through Pattern 5 buttons and entering the offset value of the pattern that is most closely aligned on each pattern page. If you notice later that the vertical alignment of your printed pages is off, repeat the calibration procedure. Loading Plain Paper The following procedure describes how to load plain bond paper. You can load up to 100 sheets of plain paper. For information on loading oversized paper or special types of media, see the next sections. Always load paper with the printable surface down.
