Explanation

Calibration aligns the printer's print heads and paper feed mechanisms so that output is correctly positioned on the page. Misaligned images are a classic symptom of a printer that is out of calibration. Cleaning the print heads addresses faded, streaked, or missing colors - not alignment. Replacing the ink cartridge resolves ink-depletion issues such as light or missing colors. Scanning the document is an input function and has no effect on how the printer places ink on paper.
