Running a Printer Check

You can run a printer check to determine whether a problem comes from the printer or some other source.

1.Turn off your printer and computer.

2.Disconnect the printer’s interface cable.

3.Load letter-size paper in the printer.

4.Hold down the paper button, then press and release the power button. When printing starts, release both buttons.

A test page prints showing the printer’s ROM version number, an ink counter code, and a nozzle check pattern. (If the pattern has gaps, you need to clean the print head as described on page 73.)
