Checking the Print Head Nozzles

be clogged or ink may be running low in one or more of the ink cartridges. Follow the
steps below to check the print head nozzles.

2. Press if necessary, then press l or r and select
Setup.
3. Select
Maintenance, then Nozzle Check.
4. Press one of the x buttons. The nozzle check is printed.
5. Check the printed pattern to see if there are gaps in the lines.

Done.

Clean the Print Head. Then follow the
instructions on the screen to clean the print head (see page 24).
