The printer feeds a sheet of paper and prints a nozzle test
pattern, similar to the one shown:

Look for a break in the diagonal lines above the printed
bars. A broken line indicates clogged nozzles.
If the bottom line still has breaks, run the test up to two more
times.

three times, the print nozzles are clean. You do not
need to complete the remaining steps.
