Checking the Print Head Nozzles

Using the Nozzle Check utility

Using the control panel buttons

If you find that the printout is unexpectedly faint or that dots are missing, you may be able to identify the
problem by checking the print head nozzles.

You can check the print head nozzles from your computer using the Nozzle Check utility in the printer
software or from the CX6500 itself by using the buttons on the control panel.

Note:

Do not start the nozzle check while printing is in progress; otherwise, your printout may be
marred.

Using the Nozzle Check utility

Refer to the sections below to use the Nozzle Check utility.

For Windows

Follow the steps below to use the Nozzle Check utility.

Make sure that A4 or Letter size paper is loaded in the sheet
feeder.
