Sheet reader
Tell the reader what is true of this machine — white pulled, storage fluid, only light shirts, missing A/B/C rows. Then photograph the sheet. If the print is banded, sandy, or one-sided, inspect nozzles and the platen first.
1
Nozzle check
Missing columns fake every other diagnosis.
2
Platen / gap
High side looks like ‘alignment’ in the middle of the panel.
3
Enter D/E/F/G
Only after firing is even and density is even.
4
Reprint the sheet
Done when 0 is the sharpest cell on every row. Stop turning knobs.
Machine notes are on Printers. Marks below are only this photo.
White-off, missing A/B/C, storage fluid — those live on Printers. This screen is only marks on the photo.
Software often prints faint A–G or −4…+4 labels — or none. Write them on the paper if you need to. Grok will read the handwriting, circles, arrows, and anything else you put on the sheet.
Optional but useful: transcribe it here too. Grok still reads the photo. Extra notes on the print (not just labels) are fair game — clogs, “wet pretreat,” a circled defect, a skip.
This thread is only Align. Stays until you close the app.
Empty until you type or attach a photo. This thread stays on align chat until you close the app.
Shoot the whole sheet from directly above, even light, no flash glare. White paper, fill the frame.
Add notes if this machine is missing white, A/B/C rows, or anything else the photo will not explain.
