Monitoring and adjusting the printer's performance
From the control panel, you can perform many tasks to keep this printer in good working 
order. For example, you can check the status of the printer’s inkjet nozzle to ensure high-
quality prints. Kodak recommends that you run a nozzle check if you are experiencing 
changes in image quality. You can also use the 
Printhead Alignment function if you see 
degradation in print quality.
