How to Print and Evaluate a Nozzle Check
The Nozzle Check print fires each nozzle individually in a manner that allows clogged nozzles to
be easily identified by a visual inspection of this special print. The Nozzle Check has been
designed to fit on a piece of media that is 36" (91.5 cm) and is 2.125" (5.4 cm) wide. Since you are
likely to print more than one when you diagnose nozzle problems, make sure your media is wide
enough. To calculate the required offset when you print multiple consecutive nozzle checks, add a
horizontal offset of 2.5" or 60 mm to each consecutive print.
When you print a Nozzle Check print on the RMO, if the media width entered is less than 1067
mm (3.5 ft) the standard nozzle check will not fit across the media. In this case, if the Nozzle Check
icon is selected from the Print Job Control command toolbar, the narrow version (Nozzle Check
Narrow 886.5 x 214.7 (2.9 x 0.70 ft)) is automatically added to the print queue.
Procedure
1. Place a piece of Océ I/O paper on the printer table (or use the RMO, if available).
2. Select the Nozzle Check icon at the right end of the Command Toolbar to place the nozzle check
into the Active Print Job list (you can also add a Nozzle Check to the active print list when you
select it from the Special Prints module).
3. Confirm media thickness.
4. Activate the table vacuum.
5. Push the printer Start button to begin the print.
6.
Print an image to make sure there is no banding or other print quality issues.

How to Evaluate a Nozzle Check Print
The Magenta section of the Nozzle Check print example shown in the figure below indicates that
multiple nozzles are out.
NOTE
This is an extreme example to illustrate the problem. In most cases you will likely see only two
or three nozzles out.

How to Correct Nozzle Dropouts
1. If there are only a few nozzle dropouts per printhead try suctioning the affected printheads
again without purging. If many nozzles are out, perform Printhead Maintenance again.
2. Print another nozzle check and repeat step 1.
3. If nozzle dropouts still remain, swab that printhead (see the next section.
When a printhead does not have any dropouts, it will look like the Nozzle Check print of the black
(K) section illustrated below.
