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 283.

Print Head Alignment

The Print Head Alignment utility can be used to improve the print
quality of your documents. The alignment of the print head may
need to be adjusted if vertical lines should appear out of
alignment or if white or black banding noise should appear in
your documents. Use this utility to realign the print head.
Through this utility the printer will output two different types of
test patterns that are used to check the print head alignment.
