Checking the Nozzles Using the
Product Control Panel
You can
check the print head nozzles using the control panel on your
product.
Make sure there are no errors on the LCD screen and the
output tray is extended.
Load a few sheets of plain paper in the
product.
Press the home button, if
necessary.
Select Maintenance >
Print Head Nozzle Check.
Select Print. The
nozzle check pattern is printed.
Check the printed pattern to see if there are gaps in the
lines.
Print head is clean
Print head needs
cleaning
Print head needs Power
Cleaning
Do one of the following:
If there are
no gaps, the print head is clean. Select O.
If there are
gaps or the pattern is faint, select X. Follow the instructions on the screen to
clean the print head.
If almost the entire pattern is missing,
select O and perform a Power
Cleaning.
If you don’t
see any improvement after cleaning the print head up to 3 times,
turn the product off and wait at least 12 hours. Then run a nozzle
check and try cleaning the print head again. If quality still does
not improve, run a Power Cleaning.
