Checking the print head nozzles

If you find that your printed image is unexpectedly faint or dots in the printed image are missing, you may be able to identify the problem using the Nozzle Check utility.

Note:

Do not start the Nozzle Check utility while printing is in progress; otherwise, your printout may be marred.

1.Make sure that several sheets of A4/Letter size or larger paper are loaded in the printer’s auto sheet feeder.

2.Click Nozzle Check.
