Checking for Clogged Nozzles

We recommend that you check the nozzles for clogs
each time you print to ensure quality results.
Ways to Check for Clogs
There are two ways to check for clogs.
❏ Print Nozzle Pattern
At specified intervals, the printer prints a test
pattern at the start of normal printing. When
printing is complete, you can visually inspect the
pattern to determine whether there may be faint or
missing colors in the preceding or following
printout.

❏ On-Demand Nozzle Pattern
Nozzle patterns can be printed as required and
inspected visually to determine whether the nozzles
are clogged.
Depending on the width of the loaded media, you can
conserve the amount of media used by printing patterns
side by side in the margins of a printed pattern.
❏ From 51 inches to less than 64 inches: it is possible
