Checking the Print Head Nozzles
If you find that the printout is unexpectedly faint or that dots are missing, you may be able
to identify the problem by checking the print head nozzles.
You can check the print head nozzles from your computer by using the nozzle check utility.
Using the Nozzle Check Utility
Follow the steps below to use the nozzle check utility.
1. Make sure that an unprinted disc is installed in stacker 1.
2. Make sure that no lights are indicating errors and that the disc cover is closed.
3. Access the printer driver.
See “Accessing the Printer Driver” on page 20.
4. Click the
Utility
tab; then click the
Nozzle Check
button.
5. Follow the on-screen instructions.
Below are two sample nozzle check patterns.
Compare the quality of the printed check page with the sample shown below. If there
are no print quality problems, such as gaps or missing segments in the test lines, the
print head is fine.
