Printing a Test Print
If your print quality is not what you expect,or if you want to check
whether a BJ cartridge or BJ tank is out of ink, you can print a test print.
You can start a test print as follows.
❍Make sure the printer is off and plain paper is loaded in the sheet
feeder.Press and hold the POWER button until the printer beeps
once.This test print shows the version number of your printer’s
ROM and a nozzle pattern that indicates whether the nozzles on
your BJ cartridges are firing. If the pattern is not cr isp and clean,
try cleaning the print heads (see page 4-6).
