Cleaning print nozzles
The print cartridge nozzle test helps you pinpoint any clogged
nozzles. The nozzle test also cleans the print cartridge by cleaning the
nozzles. A test line prints so you can see if the cleaning process was
successful.
Use the nozzle test when you suspect the nozzles are clogged or when
characters are not printing completely.
1
Make sure plain paper is loaded in the printer.

Use the Control Program to run the nozzle test.
Run the nozzle
test when:
•

printing completely.
•

white lines.
•
White dashes appear in
graphics.
•
Print is too dark or
smudged.
