Maintaining your printer
Compare the diagonal lines above the printed bars to the diagonal
5
lines below the printed bars. Look for a break in the lines. A
broken line indicates clogged nozzles.
If the bottom line still has breaks, run the test two more times.
• If the print quality is satisfactory after running the test three
times, the print nozzles are clean. You do not need to
complete the remaining steps.
• If the print quality of both sets of lines is not satisfactory after
running the test three times, continue with the next step.
Remove and reinstall the print cartridge.
