Printing A Nozzle Check Pattern - Canon S330 Quick Start Manual

Printing a Nozzle Check Pattern

The print head ejects ink through the nozzles located on the bottom of the print
head. If printed text appears faded or streaked, the nozzles may be clogged. The
print head may need to be cleaned or aligned. You can check for this problem by
printing a nozzle check pattern.
Below is an example of how the nozzle check pattern should appear when ink is
discharged properly. Print a nozzle check pattern and examine the output.
To print a nozzle check pattern in Windows:
1.
With the printer on and paper loaded,
click Start, then Control Panel, then
Printers and Other Hardware, then
Printers and Faxes.
2.
Right-click the Canon S330 printer
icon, then click Properties, then
Printing Preferences.
3.
Click the Maintenance tab, then click
the Nozzle Check icon.
4.
Click OK to start the nozzle test. The
nozzle test pattern will print.

On occasion you may need to perform up to 2-3 print head
cleanings. If the nozzle check pattern remains faded or
scratchy, perform a print head deep cleaning (see page 22).
If the problem persists, contact the Customer Care Center.
