Solution
Print a Nozzle Check Pattern
Print the nozzle check pattern in order to confirm that ink is ejected properly from the print head's nozzle. If the pattern does not print correctly, print head cleaning may be required.
Note: The Nozzle Test can also be performed by holding down the <Resume> button on the printer untill the power light flashes twice.
Confirm that the printer is powered on.
Set a sheet of A4 or letter-sized plain paper in the sheet feeder or cassette and open the paper output tray.
Press the 'Menu' button and use the up and down cursor buttons to select 'Maintenance' on the right and then press the 'OK' button.
Use the up and down cursor buttons to select 'Nozzle check' and then press the 'OK' button.
Use the up and down cursor buttons to select 'Yes' and then press the 'OK' button. (The Power lamp will blink and the nozzle check pattern print will start.)
The Power lamp blinks and the nozzle check pattern is printed. (It takes about 10 seconds until printing is completed.)
Examine the nozzle check pattern output.
Normal:
Lines are completely drawn in the pattern.
No white streaks.
Error A: No colors are printed. (Nothing appears on the output.)
Error B: Some colors of ink are not ejected completely.
(A sample in which no black ink is ejected onto the paper.)
