Operation Manual

The printer sounds like it is printing, but nothing prints
Symptom What to do
The print head moves, but nothing
prints.
Confirm the printer operation
Print a nozzle check pattern. Because a nozzle check pattern can be printed without
connecting to a computer, you can check the operations and print status for the printer.

Check the next section if the nozzle check pattern is not printed correctly.
Is the message Motor Self Adjustment displayed on the control panel's screen?
