Print head needs to be cleaned
The above sample is in black and white, but the actual test prints in color (CMYK)
If you find that any segments are missing from the test lines in the
check pattern, you may need to repeat the head cleaning and print
the check pattern again.
If quality does not improve after repeating this procedure four or
five times, turn the Stylus Scan off and leave it off overnight. Then
try the head cleaning again.
If the print quality still does not improve, one or both of your ink
cartridges may be old or damaged and may need to be replaced.
To replace an ink cartridge before it is empty, see “Replacing an
Old or Damaged Ink Cartridge” on page 10-11.
