Nozzle Testing
Before starting with calibration
tests, the Print Heads should be
checked for blockage. Each Print
Head has multiple tiny nozzles
through which ink drops emerge
and get deposited onto the print
medium. Any nozzle blockage can
compromise the print quality by
forming
discolored
horizontal
streaks or bands.
To check the nozzle, click on the
Check Nozzle
icon available on the
Quick Access Toolbar
, as shown below:
In case of blockages, refer to the
Head Cleaning
section to perform head cleaning before proceeding to other
calibration steps.
