Align Text Epson Printer
If you have recently purchased an Epson printer, ensure that you align it before you start taking prints. Aligning your newly purchased Epson printer is important to ensure that your printouts are of high quality. If you don’t align your printer, it results in low quality prints, blurry streaks, or even dark or light shades across the prints.
In this article, we have explained the procedures to align your Espon printer. In case of any doubts, feel free to call HP Printer technical support number for professional advice.
Now let us go through the step by step procedure to align your printer. You may align your Epson printer in two ways, using the control panel option or your software.

It’s important that your printer is aligned perfectly before you use it. This helps in reduction of paper wastage. In turn you are contributing for a better environment. We see more businesses and employees printing unnecessarily, even as we hurtle towards a paperless environment. Considering how damaged our eco-system is, and how quickly deforestation is taking place, printing unnecessarily should fill you with guilt and remorse.
You can avoid printing unnecessarily by aligning your printer when required, and making sure that you care for it regularly. A printer that is well taken care of works surprisingly well, and makes sure that you do not have to print sheets of paper again and again. Inculcate the habit of printing less, and caring for the printer at work, and educate your staff about alignment, so that they know what to do when printer alignment needs to be implemented.
