Printing Maintenance
Examining the Nozzle Check Pattern
The nozzle check pattern should appear as follows when ink is discharged properly. Examine the nozzle check pattern output by the printer, and clean the Print Head when necessary.
The nozzle check pattern will not be printed correctly if there is not enough ink. Replace the ink tank if the remaining amount of ink is insufficient.
See “Replacing an Ink Tank” on page 36.
