Note: You can also use a printer software utility to print a nozzle check right from
your computer. Select the ? or Help button on your printer settings window for
instructions on running the nozzle check utility.
5. Examine the nozzle check pattern you print. It should look something like this:
Each line should be complete, with no gaps in the dot pattern. If your printout
looks okay, you’re done.
If you see any gaps in the dot pattern, clean the print head again.
If you don’t see any improvement after cleaning three or four times, check the
solutions in Solving Problems. You can also turn the EPSON Stylus CX5400 off and
wait overnight—this allows any dried ink to soften—and then try cleaning the print
head again.
Caution: When you don’t turn on your EPSON Stylus CX5400 for a long time, the
print quality can decline. It’s a good idea to turn it on at least once a month to
maintain good print quality.
