2.5 Test Printing
Print a test pattern to confirm that the ink prints correctly. Perform head cleaning if you observe any ejection
failures (e.g., nozzle clogging, deflection). "Head Cleaning"(P. 73)
Check beforehand
• Is media loaded? "Load the media."(P. 60)
• Did you set the media thickness? "Registering the Media Thickness"(P. 66)
• Did you set the head gap? "Setting the Head Gap"(P. 69)
• Load media at least 500 mm wide. You cannot print the entire pattern if media less than 500
mm wide is used.
• The ink used in the machine is warmed before printing. Printing is disabled while the ink is
warmed.
