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