Printing a Nozzle Check Pattern
The nozzle check pattern confirms whether the inks are being correctly ejected from the print head
nozzles and whether the print head on the BJ Cartridge is correctly aligned. Print the nozzle check
pattern when your printouts are streaked or the colour tones are not correct, or after print head clean-
ing has been performed.
You can also print the nozzle check pattern directly from the printer. Hold down the reset button, and
release it after the power lamp flashes twice.
