Checking for Nozzle Clogging
If printing is faint or affected by banding in different colors, make sure the print head nozzles are clear by printing a test pattern to check the nozzles.
Note
-
By default, nozzles are checked at fixed intervals.

Check the printing results.
If the horizontal lines are not faint or incomplete, the nozzles are clear.
If some sections of the horizontal lines are faint or incomplete, the nozzles for those colors are clogged.
Note-
Because CO has no color, printing is performed on top of the black pattern. Check if the dark gray areas have lines (A) in the CO pattern.
If horizontal lines are faint or incomplete, execute print head cleaning.
