How to Print a Nozzle Check
The Nozzle Check print fires each nozzle individually in a manner that allows clogged
nozzles to be easily identified by a visual inspection of this special print. The Nozzle
Check has been designed to fit on a piece of media that is 36" (91.5 cm) and is 2.125"
(5.4 cm) wide. Since you are likely to print more than one when you diagnose nozzle
problems, make sure your media is wide enough. To calculate the required offset when
you print multiple consecutive nozzle checks, add a horizontal offset of 2.5" or 60 mm
to each consecutive print.
