Status Monitor
If you are using Windows 95 or a Macintosh, you can use
the Status Monitor to check the printer’s current status. For
more details, see page 4-13 (for Windows) or page 5-22 (for
Macintosh).
Printer operation check
Performing a printer operation check can help you determine
whether the problem comes from the printer or the computer.
q If the operation check page results appear as shown in
step 4 below, this means that the printer itself is all right
and that the problem probably lies in the printer software
settings, application settings, the interface cable (be sure to
use a shielded cable), or the computer itself.
q If the operation check page does not print satisfactorily, for
example, if any segment of the printed lines is missing,
there is a problem with the printer. This could be a clogged
ink nozzle or a misaligned print head. See ‘‘Problems and
Solutions’’ below for possible causes and solutions to the
problem, or go directly to ‘‘Cleaning the Print Head’’ on
page 8-26.
