Press Enter. Display shows PRINTING and the nozzle test pattern is printed. This shows a test pattern of nozzles working correctly.

Compare the diagonal line above the bars to the diagonal line below the bars. If there is a broken line, the nozzles are clogged. If the bottom line has fewer breaks, or is of better print quality than the top line, run the test again.

If the print quality is not satisfactory after running the test three times, remove the cartridge and carefully wipe the nozzle plate with a damp soft tissue. Reinstall the cartridge and repeat the clean nozzle routine.
