Using the Missing Nozzle Adjustment
If a printhead nozzle is not functioning properly, you may notice small vertical lines of
missing color on printed labels. If a nozzle is clogged, you can often resolve the issue
using the cleaning functions.
If multiple cleanings do not resolve the issue, a nozzle may no longer be functioning.
In this case, you can use the missing nozzle adjustment procedure to identify
non-functioning nozzles. The printer will apply more ink from nozzles adjacent to
non-functioning nozzles in an attempt to compensate for the missing nozzle.
Note: This adjustment works best when correcting an issue with a single nozzle. The
adjustment is not recommended in situations with multiple consecutive non-functioning
nozzles, or in situations with clogged nozzles.
