The printer will print an operation chec k page that includes a
nozzle check pattern. Below are sample printouts.
Good sample
Print head needs to be cleaned
The above sample may be shown in black and white, but the actual test
prints in color (CMYK).
If the nozzle check page does not print satisfa ctorily (for example,
if any segment of the printed lines is missing), there is a problem
with the printer. This could be a clogged ink nozzle or a
misaligned print head. See the next section for details on cleaning
the print head. For information on aligning the print head, see
Aligning the Print Head in the online Reference Guide.The nozzle
check page also indicates the amount of ink rema ining in each
cartridge. BK: shows the amount of remaining black ink, and CL:
shows the amount of remaining color ink.
Cleaning the Print Head
If you find that the printed image is unexpectedly faint or dots in
the printed image are missing, you may be able to solve these
problems by cleaning the print head, which ensures that the
nozzles are delivering ink properly.
