If the operation check page results appear as shown in
step 4, this means that the printer itself is all right and
that the problem probably lies in the printer software
settings, application settings, the interface cable, or the
computer itself. See "Problems and Solutions" below
for possible causes and solutions to the problem.
If any segment of the printed lines on the operation
check page is missing, there is a problem with the
printer. This could be a clogged ink nozzle or a
misaligned print head. See "Cleaning the Print Head"
on page 5-6, or "Aligning the Print Head"on page 5-8.
