If you have a color cartridge installed in your printer, the printer prints a nozzle test pattern similar to the one shown:
3Compare the diagonal line above the printed bars to the diagonal line below the printed bars. Look for a break in the diagonal line above the printed bars. A broken line indicates clogged nozzles.
Note: In the examples above, there are no broken lines, indicating that the nozzles are not clogged.
•If the bottom line has breaks, run the test up to two more times. If the print quality is satisfactory after running the test three times, the print nozzles are clean.
•If the print quality is not satisfactory after running the test three times, continue with the next section.
Wiping print nozzles
If print quality does not improve after cleaning the print nozzles, you may need to wipe the print nozzles. Refer to the “Troubleshooting: Print Quality” section of the printer driver Help. For help accessing the printer driver Help, see page 7.
