Inspecting the Nozzle Check Pattern
Check the print results of the nozzle check pattern.
In the test pattern, "K1", "C", "M", "Y", and "K2" correspond to the colours [Black 1], [Cyan], [Ma-
genta], [Yellow], and [Black 2] respectively. These colours can be selected under [Flush Print-
heads] or [Clean Print-heads] in [Maintenance] in [User Tools/Counter].
For example, if the test pattern indicates that "K1" is clogged, you can unclog it by selecting [Black
1] under [Clean Print-heads] or [Flush Print-heads].
Press [Continue] to clean the print
heads.
If the test pattern is satisfactory, press [End], and then
press the
