Checking the Print Head Nozzles

If you find that the printed image is unexpectedly faint or that
dots in the printed image are missing, you may be able to identify
the problem by checking the print head nozzles.
You can check the print head nozzles from your computer using
the Nozzle Check utility in the printer software, or from the
printer using the printer's control panel buttons.
For more information about the control panel buttons, see your
