1. Press the Options key twice.

insert an envelope.
3. The system prints a test print on the envelope or tape strip.

in the "Good" example below. If the print has gaps as shown in the
"Bad" example, it is not acceptable.
5. Press Yes (Enter) if print quality is okay. The display returns to the
Ready screen.
6. Press No (Options key) if print quality is poor. The screen displays all
of the maintenance options again.
7. Perform another maintenance routine as described in Purging the
Printhead. Then repeat the print test.
If the print quality remains poor after repeating the maintenance
routine and running the print test again, you may need to replace the
printhead. Refer to Replacing the Printhead section in this chapter.
