Performing a Printing Test
Before starting to print, carry out a printing test to check the state of the head.
Problems such as missing dots may reduce the printing quality.
If the test results show a problem, carry out head cleaning to restore the head to its normal state.
1 Press and hold the [TEST PRINT] key for at
least one second to carry out a printing test.
The test pattern is printed.
2 If dot drop-out is present, clean the heads.
For more information about head cleaning, see "5-1
Cleaning the Print heads."
