The printer sounds like it is printing, but nothing prints
Symptom What to do
The print head moves, but nothing
prints.
Confirm the printer operation
Print a nozzle check pattern. Because a nozzle check pattern can be printed without
connecting to a computer, you can check the operations and print status for the printer.
U “Nozzle Check” on page 113
Check the next section if the nozzle check pattern is not printed correctly.
Is the message Motor Self Adjustment displayed on the control panel's screen?
The printer adjusts the internal motor. Wait for a while without turning off the printer.
The nozzle check pattern is not
printed correctly.
Perform head cleaning.
The nozzles may be clogged. Print a nozzle check pattern again after performing head
cleaning.
