Checking for Clogged Print Head Nozzles
To maintain optimum print quality, perform a nozzle check before printing. This lets you visually inspect
the printed check pattern and clean the nozzles, if necessary. There are two ways to check the nozzles:
• Set up the product to automatically print a check pattern before each print job. You can select how
often the product performs a nozzle check in the Setup menu.
• Manually run a nozzle check from the product control panel, as described here.
1. Load roll paper and select the matching paper type on the product control panel.
2. Press the maintenance button.
You see the Maintenance menu on the product control panel screen.
3. Select Nozzle Check and press the OK button.
You see a confirmation message.
4. Press the OK button.
The product prints a nozzle check pattern.
5. Check the printed pattern to see if there are gaps in the lines.
Nozzles are clean
Nozzles need cleaning
6. If there are no gaps, the print head is clean and you can continue printing.
If there are gaps or the pattern is faint, clean the print head.
