Printing the Nozzle Check Pattern
Print the nozzle check pattern to test the printhead installed in the machine. This test shows if each printhead
nozzle is operating properly.
Cleaning the Printhead
If the printed nozzle check pattern is broken, missing, or a specific color is not printed, clean the printhead.
• Cleaning the printhead consumes a small amount of ink. Cleaning too often reduces the amount of ink
in the Ink Tanks.
