Note:
Do not use the Nozzle Check, Head Cleaning, or Print Head Alignment
utilities while printing is in progress; otherwise, your printout may be
marred.
Nozzle Check
The Nozzle Check utility checks the print head nozzles for
clogging. Check the nozzles if you notice print quality has
declined and also after cleaning to confirm that the print head
nozzles have been cleaned. 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 8-2.
Head Cleaning
This utility cleans the print head. You may need to clean the head
when 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 8-4.
Print Head Alignment
This utility aligns the print head. Use this utility if you notice a
misalignment of vertical or horizontal lines.
Configuration
Clicking this button opens the Configuration dialog box, where
you can change the way the StatusMonitor utility notifies you
when the printer status changes. For details, see "Making
Configuration Settings" on page 5-3.
