Below are nozzle check patterns:
Good sample
Print head needs to be cleaned
The above sample is in black and white, but the actual check pattern prints
in color.
If print quality has not improved after repeating this procedure
four or five times, turn the printer off and leave it alone overnight.
Then, do the nozzle check again, and repeat the head cleaning if
necessary.
If the print quality still has not improved, one or both of your ink
cartridges may be old or damaged and may need to be replaced.
To replace an ink cartridge, see “Replacing Ink Cartridges” on
page 197.
If print quality remains a problem after replacing the ink
cartridges, contact your dealer.
Note:
To maintain print quality, we recommend printing a few pages at least
once every month.
