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 these steps.
Note:
Before you start printing your data, make sure that the nozzle check
pattern printing is complete. Otherwise, print quality may decline.
