nozzles are clogged. Follow the steps below to print a nozzle check from your
printer software (this also lets you verify that your printer is connected and
working properly).

printer is loaded.
2. Do one of the following:
• Macintosh: Open an application and choose Print from the File
menu. Then click the utility button.
• Windows: Click Start, point to Settings, and select Printers.
Right-click your printer icon, and then select
Properties (Windows
95, 98, or Me),
Document Defaults (Windows NT) or Printing

• Windows XP: Click Start and select Control Panel. Double-click
Printers and Other Hardware, then double-click Printers and
Faxes
. Right-click your printer icon and select Printing
