Running a Nozzle Check
You can run a nozzle check either from the printer's control panel or from a

The nozzle check prints a pattern of dots that lets you see if any print head
nozzles are clogged. If any dots are missing, you can run a cleaning cycle to
clear the nozzles. Follow these steps to print a nozzle check:
1. Load a sheet of paper in the printer, following the instructions on
page 2-13. (You can print a nozzle check on roll paper, but you will use
more paper.)
2. To run a nozzle check from a Macintosh, click the utility button
the Print or Page Setup dialog box. Then click the Nozzle Check button
and follow the instructions on the screen.
