Nozzle check

This function checks the print head
clogging by printing a nozzle check pattern. Perform
head cleaning if you find that the nozzle check pattern
is unexpectedly faint or has missing dots in the nozzle
check pattern.
By using the AUTO NOZZLE CHECK function, the
printer performs a nozzle check without printing a
pattern and if there are missing dots, it performs
cleaning automatically.
