before printing.

Nozzle Check
The Nozzle Check utility checks the print head nozzles for
clogging. Check the nozzles if you notice print quality has
declined and after cleaning to confirm that the print head nozzles
have been cleared. If the nozzle check indicates the print head
needs cleaning, you can access the Head Cleaning utility directly
from the Nozzle Check utility. For details, see "Checking the Print
Head Nozzles" on page 126.
Head Cleaning
The Head Cleaning utility cleans the print head. You may need
to clean the print head if you notice print quality has declined.
Use the Nozzle Check utility first to confirm that the print head
needs to be cleaned. For details, see "Cleaning the Print Head" on
page 129.

utility if you notice a misalignment of vertical or horizontal lines.
Follow the on-screen instructions to use this utility.
