HP Designjet 70/110plus Printer series—Quick Reference Guide
31
If the printheads are not correctly aligned, poor quality printing will result.
To align printheads, you 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 Driver and Documentation CD.
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 46.
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.
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. The tick should be cyan. If this is not the case, repeat the
process.
