Checking Printer Status
You can use the control panel to print a status check or nozzle check. These
prints allow you to test the printer without sending a print job. You can also
check the amount of ink remaining, total number of prints, and the status of
your cutter blade and other printer parts.
Printing a Status Check
The status check shows the current default settings, amount of ink
remaining in each cartridge, page count, and the status of various printer
parts. To display this information on the control panel instead of printing it
out, see page 5-4.

1. Load a sheet of paper in the printer, following the instructions on
page 2-10. (You can print the status check on roll paper, but you will use
more paper.)
