power light stops flashing, click
Print nozzle

Nozzle check pattern:
The above sample is in black and white, but the actual check pattern
prints in color.
In the check pattern, if you find that any segments are missing
from the test lines, you may need to repeat the head cleaning
and print the nozzle check pattern again.
If print quality hasn’t improved after repeating this procedure
four or five times, follow the recommendations listed in this
chapter. If the print quality still has not improved, contact your
dealer.
