Printing the Nozzle Check Pattern
Print the nozzle check pattern to determine whether the ink sprays normally from the print
head nozzles, and to verify print head alignment. Use this function when printed results are
blurred or the colour is incorrect.
Nozzle check pattern printing can be executed from the Windows and Macintosh printer
drivers, or from the printer itself.
