Check Colour Block Quality and Alignment
The MFC starts printing the PRINT QUALITY
CHECK SHEET (only during initial ink cartridge
installation).
Check the sheet to see if the quality and
alignment are OK by following steps A and B.

you place it down.
• Do not throw away the white shipping cover. You will need it for future transportation.

shipping cover by pulling it toward you and then lifting it up and out.
