Using the control panel
Follow the steps below to check the print head nozzles using the product control panel.

C
Press x to display the menus.
D
Select Maintenance.
E
Select Nozzle Check and follow the instructions in the LCD screen to print a nozzle check pattern.
Below are two sample nozzle check patterns.
Compare the quality of the printed check page with the sample shown below. If there are no print quality
problems, such as gaps or missing segments in the test lines, the print head is fine.
If any segment of the printed lines is missing, as shown below, this could mean a clogged ink nozzle or a
misaligned print head.
