Examining the Nozzle Check Pattern

Examine the nozzle check pattern you printed. Each staggered

horizontal and straight vertical line should be complete, with

no gaps in the dot pattern, as shown below:

❏ If your printout looks okay, you’re done.

❏ If any dots are missing (as shown below), clean the print

head again; see the previous section for instructions.

Aligning the Print Head

If your printouts contain misaligned vertical lines, you may

need to align the print head. Make sure you’ve cleaned the

print head first, as described in the previous section, to ensure

that the problem isn’t caused by clogged nozzles.

If your image looks texturized or blurry, make sure the

platen gap lever is not in the

position for envelopes.

1. Turn on the printer and load a sheet of letter-size paper.

2. Use the button to highlight

set of lines (marked #1). Select the line (1-15) in which all

the vertical dots are best aligned. You may need to use an

eye loupe or a magnifying glass.

6. Use the and buttons to display the number of that

line (1-15), then press the

button.

Transporting the Printer

If you move your printer some distance, you need to prepare it

for transportation in its original box or one of a similar size.

To avoid damage, always leave the ink cartridges

installed when transporting the printer.

Follow these steps:

1. Turn on the printer, wait until the print head locks in the

far right position, then turn off the printer.

2. Unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet. Then

disconnect the printer cable from the printer.

3. Take out any paper and remove the paper support.

4. Open the printer cover. Secure the ink cartridge holder to

the printer with tape as shown, then close the printer cover.

5. Push in the output tray extension and close the tray.

6. Repack the printer and its attachments in the original box

(if possible) using the protective materials that came with

them. See your Start Here sheet.

Keep the printer level as you transport it.

After moving the printer, remove the tape securing the print

head before turning on the printer. If print quality is poor,

clean the print head (see page 9); if output is misaligned, align

the print head as described in the previous section.
