Checking the print nozzles

The Color StyleWriter 2200 prints by spraying ink onto the paper through
tiny nozzles. Sometimes these small nozzles get clogged after sitting unused
for a long time. To make sure all the nozzles are working, follow these steps.

1

If necessary, turn off the printer.

The green power light should be off.

2

Press and hold down the power button until the amber error light turns off.

3

Release the button and wait for the test page to print.

4

Examine the nozzle test pattern for broken or missing horizontal lines.

The nozzle test pattern appears near the bottom of the test page. The test
pattern for the color ink cartridge looks like this:

Yellow

Magenta

A broken line means a nozzle on
the print head needs to be cleaned.

A missing color means you
need to replace an ink tank.

Cyan

Black
