Using the control panel
Follow these steps to check the print head nozzles using the control panel.
1. Make sure that paper is attached to the tractor unit.
2. While pressing the
Load/Eject
button, press the
On
button until the
On
light flashes.
Below are two sample nozzle check patterns.
Compare the quality of the printed check page with the sample shown below. If there are no print
quality problems, such as gaps or missing segments in the test lines, the print head is fine.

If any segment of the printed lines is missing, as shown below, this could mean that an ink nozzle is
clogged. See “Cleaning the Print Head” on page 99.
