Checking the print head nozzles

To find out if nozzles are delivering ink properly, you can print a nozzle check pattern. If the
nozzles are not delivering ink properly, missing dots will be evident in the print pattern. To
print a nozzle check pattern, follow the steps below.
Note:
Before you start printing your data, make sure that nozzle check pattern printing is complete;
otherwise, the print quality may decline.
1. Make sure that paper is loaded in the printer.
2. Press the Menu/Right r button to enter Menu mode.
3. Press the Paper Feed/Down d or Ink Cover Open/Up u button to display
TEST PRINT, and then press the Menu/Right r button.
4. Press the Paper Feed/Down d or Ink Cover Open/Up u button to display
NOZZLE CHECK, and then press the Menu/Right r button.
5. Press the Paper Feed/Down d or Ink Cover Open/Up u button to select AUTO or
MANUAL.
Note:
When you select AUTO, the printer not only checks for clogged nozzles, but also performs head
cleaning automatically. If you just want to print a nozzle check pattern to see whether nozzles
are clogged, select MANUAL.
6. Press the Menu/Right r button to display PRINT.
