Printing A Nozzle Check Pattern - Canon BJC 6100 - Color Inkjet Printer 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 heads on the two BJ Cartridges are correctly aligned. Print the nozzle
check pattern when your printouts are streaked or the colour tones are not correct, or after print head
cleaning has been performed.
Note
You can also print the nozzle check pattern directly from the printer. Press and hold down the
RESUME button until you hear two beeps, and release the RESUME button.
