test the print quality.

Menu button, press d to highlight TEST PRINT, and press
Menu again.

NOZZLE CHECK, press Menu, and press to print a nozzle
check pattern.
3. Examine the printed pattern to determine if the print head nozzles need
cleaning or not at this point.
Note: Before printing
without the Auto Take-Up
Reel, be sure to set the
AUTO TAKE-UP REEL
setting to OFF.
Note: If you have any
print quality problems
after cleaning the print
head, see page 74 for
information on additional
print head cleaning cycles
you can run.
It’s a good idea to run a
nozzle check and clean
the print head, if
necessary, whenever you
load a new media type or
print a large job. You can
also set the printer to
automatically print a
nozzle check pattern
and/or clean the print
head at set intervals. See
page 114 for details.
