7.

proceeding to the next printhead.
NOTE
During maintenance, be careful not to touch the nozzles or the nozzle
plate as this can damage the printhead.
8.
Slide the maintenance station drawer back to its closed position. The
carriage will move back to its previous print-ready height.
9.
Print a Nozzle Check to evaluate print quality.
How to Print a Nozzle Check
The Nozzle Check print fires each nozzle individually in a manner that
allows clogged nozzles to be easily identified by a visual inspection of this
special print. The Nozzle Check has been designed to fit on a piece of
media that is 36" (91.5 cm) and is 2.125" (5.4 cm) wide. Since you are likely
to print more than one when you diagnose nozzle problems, make sure
your media is wide enough. To calculate the required offset when you
print multiple consecutive nozzle checks, add a horizontal offset of 2.5" or
60 mm to each consecutive print.
