Checking the Nozzles Using the Product Buttons

Running a product check helps you determine if your product is operating properly.
  1. Press the  power button to turn the product off.
  2. Load a few sheets of plain paper in the product.
  3. Hold down the  stop button and press the  power button to turn the product on.
  4. When the product turns on, release both buttons. The product begins printing a nozzle check pattern.
    Note: It can take a few seconds for the nozzle check to start printing. If the nozzle check does not start printing after a few seconds, make sure there is paper loaded in the printer.
  5. Check the printed pattern to see if there are gaps in the lines.

  6. Do one of the following, depending on the results of the product check:
    • If the page prints and the nozzle check pattern is complete, the product is operating properly. Any operation problem you may have could be caused by your computer, cable, software, or selected settings. Check the other solutions in this book or try uninstalling and reinstalling your printer software.
    • If the page prints but the nozzle check pattern has gaps, clean or align the print head.
    • If the page does not print, the product may have a problem. Check the other solutions in this manual. If they do not work, contact Epson.
