Print Quality Functions

You can use the printer function menus to confirm the print quality settings and change the settings to recover poor printing
results.

Determining if the Printhead is Blocked

You can print a

Nozzle Check

to check the condition of the

printheads.

When the Printhead Nozzles Are
Clogged

If the

Nozzle Check

reveals that the printheads are

blocked, you can execute

Head Cleaning

to clear the

blockage and recover operation of the printer.

Head

Cleaning A

is for normal, everyday printhead cleaning and

Head Cleaning B

is used for thorough head cleaning.

Head Cleaning B

consumes a large amount of ink, so use

Head Cleaning A

unless

Head Cleaning B

is required.
