Poor Print Quality
Good Print Quality
4 Examine the test pattern.
The example above shows a test pattern of all nozzles
functioning correctly.
5 Compare the diagonal line above the printed bars to the
diagonal line below the printed bars.
Look for a break in the diagonal lines. A broken line indicates
clogged nozzles.
If the bottom line has fewer breaks, or better print quality than
the top line, the quality is improving so run the cleaning two
more times. If the print quality is satisfactory after running the
cleaning three times, the ink nozzles are clean. You do not
have to complete the remaining steps.
If the print quality of both lines is not satisfactory after
running the head cleaning three times, the ink on the cartridge
nozzles may be dry. Removing and reinstalling the ink
cartridges may solve the problem.
