Checking For Clogged Nozzles - Epson SureColor F7070 User Manual

Checking for Clogged Nozzles

We recommend that you check the nozzles for clogs each time you print to ensure quality
results.
Ways to Check for Clogs
There are two ways to check for clogs.
❏ Print Nozzle Pattern
At specified intervals, the printer prints a test pattern at the start of normal printing.
When 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.
See "The Printer Setup Menu" on page 115.
❏ On-Demand Nozzle Pattern
Nozzle patterns can be printed as required and inspected visually to determine whether
the nozzles are clogged.
This section explains how to print and inspect a check pattern.
1. After confirming that the printer is ready, press the # button.
The Maintenance menu will be displayed.
2. Select Nozzle Check and press the Z button.
3. A nozzle pattern will be printed.
