An alignment print is necessary after every 5000 prints or after a Printhead change. You may also manually run an alignment print to improve print quality. Follow these instructions:
1. Open Brady Status J5000. Click on the cartridge tab (second tab). Click the Align Printhead button.
2. Tear off any printed labels. Click Next.
3. The printer will automatically back the remaining labels out of the printer. You can leave the label stock roll in the printer.
4. Move the throat guide to the widest position and feed the alignment paper into the printer.
Note: Then alignment sheets are included with the printer. The size is actually A4, which is 8.27" X 11.69" or 210mm x 297mm. If you do not have the alignment paper, you can cut a 0.25" strip off of a standard size sheet to make a usable sheet.
5. Once the alignment is complete, you will need to pull the finished alignment sheet from the printer.
6. After the alignment sheet is removed, reload and calibrate your label material and continue to print as normal
