Nozzle Check

You can check the print head nozzles for clogging with this
utility. Check the nozzles when you notice a decline in print
quality and after cleaning to confirm that the print head
nozzles have been cleared. In case the nozzle check indicates
the print head needs cleaning, you can access the Head
Cleaning utility directly from the Nozzle Check utility. See
Chapter 8, ''Troubleshooting,'' for more information.

Head Cleaning

clean the head if you notice a decline in print quality. Before
and after print head cleaning, use the Nozzle Check utility to
check whether the print head needs to be cleaned (again). You
can access the Nozzle Check utility directly from the Head
Cleaning utility. See ''Cleaning the Print Head'' on page 8-26
for more information.
