Ink cartridge alignment will adjust the cartridges for bidirectional printing and calibrate the printer to each individual cartridge. Alignment is prompted by the printer each time you install a new cartridge. Run the ink cartridge alignment anytime the ink cartridge is taken out of the printer.
Install a continuous label supply that is equal to or wider than 2.95" (7.5 cm). The alignment roll (J-ALIGN) that was included with the printer should be used for ink cartridge alignment.
Note: If the wrong label supply is used, an Ink Cartridge Alignment Error message displays on the printer.
You are able to bypass the alignment, but doing so can eventually affect print quality. If the labels contain streaks, banding fuzzy text, misalignment of colors or blurred text, manually run the ink alignment following the instructions below.

A test label prints when you run the alignment.
Failed Alignment: If alignment fails, a bright light may be interfering with the sensor inside the printer. Either remove the light source or shade the printer.
