A sample of the jet test pattern (partial)
The test pattern creates solid and lined areas that
correspond to each nozzle in the jet pack for the color being
tested. Missing line segments or faded blocks indicate that
the jet pack’s nozzles are not firing properly. Because each
line segment corresponds to a single nozzle, you can easily
identify which jet packs are missing nozzles.
