Cleaning the print nozzles
The print cartridge nozzle test helps you pinpoint any clogged nozzles. The nozzle test also cleans the print cartridge by cleaning (purging) the nozzles. A test line prints so you can see if the cleaning process was successful.
Use the nozzle test:
•When you suspect the nozzles are clogged
•When characters are not printing completely To run the nozzle test:
1 Make sure there is paper in the automatic feeder.
2 From the printer’s Control Program, click the Cartridges Tab.
For help opening the Control Program, see “Opening the Control Program” on page 8.
3 Click the Clean Print Nozzles button.
The printer feeds a sheet of paper and prints a nozzle test pattern, similar to the one shown below.
4 Examine the test pattern.
The example above shows a test pattern of all nozzles functioning correctly.
5 Compare the diagonal line above the printed bars to the diagonal line below the printed bars.
