Print Quality Does Not Improve Even After Aligning the Print Head
During bidirectional (or high speed) printing, the print head prints while moving in both directions, and vertical
lines may be misaligned. If print quality does not improve, disable the bidirectional (or high speed) setting.
Disabling this setting may slow down printing speed.

Clear High Speed on the printer driver’s More Options tab.
❏ Mac OS
Select System Preferences from the
menu > Printers & Scanners (or Print & Scan, Print & Fax), and then
select the printer. Click Options & Supplies > Options (or Driver). Select O as the High Speed Printing
setting.
