Caution:

Load paper that’s at least 8.27 inches (210 mm) wide. This prevents ink from spraying inside the printer and smudging your printouts.

3Make sure paper is loaded in the printer.

4Hold down the E load/eject button and press the P power button. Hold down the E load/eject button until the P power light starts to flash, then release it.

The printer prints its ROM version number and a nozzle check pattern (shown in Examining the Nozzle Check Pattern).

5To end the check, turn off the printer. Then reconnect the interface cable and turn on your printer and computer.

Confirming the Printer ID Number

If you’re using Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows NT, you can use the Printer and Option Information utility to confirm the Printer ID. Color quality may improve after you confirm the ID number.

If you’re using Status Monitor 2, this information is updated automatically. However, if a message appears prompting you to enter settings or if you change the printer’s configuration, you’ll need to update the Printer ID manually. Follow these steps:

1Make sure letter-size paper is loaded in your printer.

2Access the main printer settings dialog box as described in Printing from Windows.

3Click the Utility tab. Then click the Printer and Option Information icon.
