3.6 Test Printout

This printer has a built-in self-test function that can be executed without any connection to a computer.

With the power off, press and hold the POWER button until the beeper has sounded twice. Release the POWER button to start the test print.

If you print the nozzle check pattern on plain paper, you will not be able to check the printing of the ink optimizer, which is semi-transparent.

In this case, check the checker pattern at the top right of the nozzle check pattern for ink smears to see the general status of ink optimizer jetting.

If you need to check each nozzle for ink optimizer, print the nozzle check pattern on transparency material for bubble jet printers. Check the reflected light from the pattern to check the status of the nozzles. If it is difficult to see, coat the back surface with black ink, etc., or position the transparency on black paper. If you print a nozzle check pattern with the BC-61 cartridge installed, the part printed by the photo head shown in Figure 3-20 will not be printed.
