Basic Procedures
Checking the Condition of the Printer
When you see that the printouts are faded and uneven, or
streaked with white lines, print a nozzle check pattern to
determine whether the nozzles are blocked. Before you
print a nozzle check pattern, make sure roller paper or cut
sheets A3 (L) size or wider are loaded in the printer.
Note
z
If you are using cut sheets, make sure at least one
sheet of unused A3 paper (not the blank sides of used
paper) or larger are set.
