Testing And Cleaning The Bj Cartridge Print Head - Canon MultiPASS C545 User Manual

Testing and Cleaning the BJ Cartridge Print Head

The print head in the BJ cartridge contains nozzles through which ink is propelled
onto the paper. To maintain the best possible print quality, these nozzles need to be
cleaned from time to time. Your MultiPASS is equipped with a print head cleaning
function that does this.
Printing the Nozzle Check
Before cleaning the print head, you may want to print the nozzle check to test the
BJ cartridge installed in the MultiPASS. This test shows if each print head nozzle is
operating properly.

lines are missing between the colors. This is normal.
