Printing a Nozzle Check Pattern

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 becomes faint, or if a specific color fails to print.

Print nozzle check pattern

  1. Selecting Utilities from Remote UI

  2. Click Print nozzle check pattern

    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 scanning unit / cover.
    Check the following items for each ink. Then, if necessary, perform Print nozzle check pattern.

    • 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.
