Testing and cleaning the BJ cartridge print

head ______________________________________

The print head in the BJ cartridge contains nozzles through which ink is propelled onto the paper. To maintain the best possible print quality, these nozzles need to be cleaned from time to time. Your fax is equipped with a print head cleaning function that does this.

KPrinting the nozzle check pattern
