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 printer itself is fine and
the problem probably lies with the printer software settings, the
application settings, the interface cable (be sure to use a shielded
cable), or the computer itself.

The above sample may be shown in black and white, but the actual check
page prints in color (CMYK).

If the check page does not print satisfactorily as shown below,
there is a problem with the printer. For example, if any segment
of the printed lines is missing, this could mean a clogged ink
nozzle or a misaligned print head.

The above sample may be show in black and white, but the actual check
pattern prints in color.
