Checking for clogged nozzles
We recommend that you check the nozzles for clogs
each time you print to ensure quality results.
Ways to Check for Clogs
There are the following two ways to check for clogged
nozzles.
Perform auto cleaning
The printer automatically checks for clogged nozzles,
and then executes cleaning at the optimum strength. If
the nozzles are not clogged, cleaning is not done. See the
following for more details.
U
“Head Cleaning” on page 101
On-Demand Nozzle Pattern
When you want to check that there is no clogging or
stripes and unevenness in print results before printing,
print a nozzle check pattern. Inspect the printed check
pattern visually to determine whether the nozzles are
clogged.
See the following for how to print a check pattern.
Supported Media
You need the following media to print a check pattern.
The type of media you use varies depending on the
Printer Mode you are using.
Size
A4 or letter size
Media type
White ink mode: Transparent media, such as OHP film,
or colored paper
*
Color ink mode: Plain paper
*
* When a medium grooved platen is installed, use thick
paper. If no thick paper is available, replace the platen
with the platen provided with the printer, and then
print the check pattern.
Attach the media to the platen before printing. See the
following section for information on loading media.
Loading media
You cannot use the S size hanger platen, XS size platen
or the sleeve platen to print a check pattern. Replace
them with the platen provided with the printer.

Place the media in the center of the platen.
Make sure you place the media in the center. If it
is placed in a different position, the platen may be
soiled with ink.

to keep it in place.
