Printing A Nozzle Check Pattern - Canon BJC-3000 User Manual

Printing a Nozzle Check Pattern

The nozzle check pattern confirms whether the inks are being correctly ejected from the print head
nozzles and whether the print head on the BJ Cartridge is correctly aligned. Print the nozzle check
pattern when the printouts are streaked or the colour tones are not correct, or after print head clean-
ing has been performed.
You can also print the nozzle check pattern directly from the printer. Hold down the reset button, and
release it after the power lamp flashes twice.

Make sure that the printer is switched on and A4- or Letter-size plain paper is
loaded in the printer.

Select the nozzle check pattern in the printer driver.
Open the Printer Properties dialogue box, then click the
Maintenance tab.
