 7. Printing  

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.

Software Calibration

Note:

 Mechanical checks are only performed by the Service Engineer.
