Description

Learn how to print a nozzle check pattern for the imagePROGRAF PRO-300 from a Mac. If you're experiencing poor quality prints (banded / streaked printing, tinted prints, blank pages, etc.), a nozzle check pattern can show you if any of the print head nozzles are clogged.

Solution

The Nozzle Check function allows you to check whether the print head is working properly by printing a Nozzle Check pattern.
Follow the steps below to print a Nozzle Check pattern.

Nozzle Check

  1. Select Utilities from the Remote UI.

  2. Click Nozzle Check.

    The confirmation message appears.
    Before printing the Nozzle Check pattern, check the following items:

    Check whether the printer is on and open the printer's cover.
    Check the following items for each ink. Then, if necessary, perform a Nozzle Check.

    • Is there ink remaining in the tank?

    • Did you push in the ink tank completely until you heard a clicking sound?

    • If the orange tape is there, has it been peeled off completely?
      Any remaining tape will hinder ink output.

    • Did you install the ink tanks in their correct positions?

  3. Load one sheet of A4 size plain paper into the top feed.

  4. Click Yes.
    Printing of the Nozzle Check pattern begins.

  5. When the dialog opens, check the print result. If the print result is normal, click All A.

    If the print result is smudged or if there are any unprinted sections, click Also B to clean the print head.
