4. Hold down the
E load/eject button, then press and release
the Ppower button. Continue holding down the
E load/eject button until the Ppower light starts to flash,
then release it.
The printer prints one page showing its ROM version
number, ink counter, and a nozzle check pattern. Only the
nozzle check pattern is shown below. (If the pattern has
gaps in its dots, you need to clean the print head; see
page 11.)
5. To end the check, turn off the printer after it prints the
check page. Then reconnect the interface cable and turn on
your printer and computer.
If the check page prints, the problem probably lies in your
software settings, the interface cable, or your computer.
If the check page doesn’t print, you may have a problem with
your printer.
Try the suggestions in “Problems and Solutions” in the Printer
Basics book.
Printing on Special Media
Whether you print on plain paper or special media, you need
to select the Media Type setting according to the guidelines in
the table below.
Additional Media Loading Guidelines
Don’t use the cleaning sheets that may be included with
your special media; they may damage the printer.
❏ Be sure to load the printable (whiter) side of the media face
up in the sheet feeder.
❏ You can load paper up to the arrow mark on the left edge
guide.
❏ In addition to the Media Type option, remember to select
the correct Paper Size for your media in the printer
software.
❏ If the special media has protective sheets between each sheet
of media, be sure to remove the protective sheets before
printing.
❏ Some special media have a cut corner that you need to
position correctly; follow any instructions in the package.
Always handle sheets by the edges, and don’t touch the
printable surface.
❏ If you’re printing on roll paper, never select Auto Sheet
Feeder as the Paper Source setting; unnecessary amounts of
paper will feed into the printer.
❏ With roll paper, don’t use the printer software’s Reverse
Order or Rotate by 180° settings, or select Maximum or
Centered as the Printable Area setting, or use any settings
on the Layout dialog box. They won’t work with roll paper.
❏ Make sure the edge of the roll paper is cut cleanly—at a 90°
angle in each corner—to ensure proper loading.
