How to Print a Nozzle Check

The Nozzle Check print fires each nozzle individually in a manner that allows clogged nozzles to
be easily identified by a visual inspection of this special print. The Nozzle Check has been
designed to fit on a piece of media that is 36" (91.5 cm) and is 2.125" (5.4 cm) wide. Since you are
likely to print more than one when you diagnose nozzle problems, make sure your media is wide
enough. To calculate the required offset when you print multiple consecutive nozzle checks, add a
horizontal offset of 2.5" or 60 mm to each consecutive print.
Procedure
NOTE
When you print on the RMO, if the media width entered is less than 1067 mm (3.5 ft) the
standard nozzle check will not fit across the media. In this case, if the Nozzle Check icon is
selected from the Print Job Control command toolbar, the narrow version (Nozzle Check Narrow
886.5 x 214.7 (2.9 x 0.70 ft)) is automatically added to the print queue.
1.
Place a piece of Océ I/O paper on the printer table (or use the RMO, if available).
2.
Select the Nozzle Check icon at the right end of the Command Toolbar to place the nozzle check
into the Active Print Job list (you can also add a Nozzle Check to the active print list when you
select it from the Special Prints module).
3. Confirm media thickness.
4. Activate the table vacuum.
5. Push the printer Start button to begin the print.
6.
Print an image to make sure there is no banding or other print quality issues.
