The Stylus Scan prints out ROM version information, ink
counter codes, and a nozzle check pattern. Here are sample
printouts.
Good sample
Print head needs to be cleaned
The above sample is in black and white, but the actual test prints in color
(CMYK).
If the quality is not satisfactory (for example, if a line segment
is missing), it is likely that a nozzle is clogged or that the print
head is out of alignment. For information about how to clean
the print head, see the next section. For information about
how to realign the print head, see “Aligning the Print Head”
on page 11-9.
Cleaning the Print Head
If you find that printouts and copies are unexpectedly faint or that
there are gaps (missing dots) in the printed image, you may be
able to solve the problem by cleaning the print head. Cleaning the
print head ensures that nozzles are delivering ink properly.
