there is no clogging. If no clogging is detected, printing continues.
If clogging is detected, head cleaning is automatically performed and

Auto Nozzle Check is not available under the following conditions:

The media is transparent or colored.

ambient light sources. In such a case, shade the printer from these
sources.
For Print Pattern, when printing for the set number of pages is complete,
the next page is printed across the printed check pattern. When all
printing is complete, you can visually inspect the pattern to determine
whether there may be faint or missing colors in the preceding or following
printout. Use this for media not suited for Auto Nozzle Check or if you feel
that Auto Nozzle Check would take too long.
