Nozzle Check Pattern Prints Incorrectly
If the nozzle check pattern does not print correctly, try these solutions:
• Clean the print head and print the check pattern again.
• Run a light cleaning cycle from the Maintenance menu and print the check pattern again. If there are
still gaps in the pattern, run a heavy cleaning cycle.
• If the printer has not been used for a long time, nozzles may be dried and clogged. Turn the printer on
at least once every two weeks to prevent the nozzles from clogging.
