UTOMATIC PRINT HEAD NOZZLE CLEANING AND TESTING
PROCEDURE
Once the print head has been inserted , the fax machine starts
the nozzle cleaning and checking procedure , which is com-
pleted by:
• the printing , on the sheet loaded automatically, of a diagnostic
test sheet containing:
-
a numbered scale , for checking the flow of ink and the
electrical circuits of the print head nozzles.
- a group of graphics and text , so that the printing quality
may be evaluated.
• the display shows the message: "CHECK PRINT OUT",
"1=EXIT 0=REPEAT".
Examine the print test sheet as follows:
• Check that the numeric scale is not interrupted at any point
and that the black areas do not present any horizontal
white lines : in these conditions, which confirm that the print
head has been inserted correctly and is working properly, set
the value
1 . At the end of the procedure, the fax machine will
return automatically to the initial stand-by status.
