A). Run the maintenance application: Most modern printers include a built-in maintenance application that can calibrate the print heads and correct alignment issues. Running this tool is the first step to address misalignment. Incorrect Options: B). Clean the rollers: Cleaning rollers is typically done to resolve paper feed or jamming issues, not alignment problems. C). Upgrade the firmware: While updating firmware is beneficial for performance improvements, it is not the first step for fixing alignment. D). Reinstall the drivers: Misaligned printing is usually hardware-related, not a driver issue. Key Takeaway: The maintenance application should be run first to resolve alignment issues in a newly installed printer.
