The Nozzle Check function allows you to check whether the print head is working properly by printing a Nozzle Check pattern. Print the pattern if printing results are not satisfactory, or if a specific color fails to print.
 

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, print the Nozzle Check.

   • Is there ink remaining in the cartridge?

   • Did you push in the ink cartridge 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 cartridges in their correct positions?

3. Load one sheet of A4 size or Letter size plain paper into the rear tray.

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.
