Nozzle check and cleaning

Before starting everyday operation, please check the nozzle. If nozzle clog is found, conduct cleaning.
This printer has the following 2 kinds of nozzle checks:
• Nozzle Check - Prints the nozzle check patterns
• Nozzle Check B - Prints the nozzle check patterns on the partially colored background.

• When using white ink, colored media, transparent films or semi-transparent films (such as OHP film, tracing paper and more) are
recommended to use for nozzle check.
