Examining the Nozzle Check Pattern

A good nozzle check pattern should look something like this:

Each line in the pattern should be complete, with no gaps or missing dots. If your

printout looks okay, you’re done.

If any dots are missing, as shown below, clean the print head again; see page 37 for

instructions.

Using the Control Panel to Clean the Print Head

If your printer is connected over a network, you have to use the control panel to clean

the print head. (If the printer is connected directly to your computer, it’s better to use

the head cleaning utility as described above.)

Press the

R cleaning button and hold it

down for three seconds. Cleaning takes

about 30 seconds, during which the

printer makes some noise and the

Ppower light flashes.

When the

Ppower light stops flashing,

open an application and print a small

image containing black and color data. If you still

see missing dots or lines, repeat the cleaning cycle as described above.

If you don’t see any improvement after cleaning three or four times, check for

solutions in “Problems Getting Good Print Quality” on page 53. You can also turn

the printer off and wait overnight—this allows any dried ink to soften—and then try

cleaning the print head again.
