Running a Printer Operation Check
You can run a printer operation check to determine whether the problem comes from
the printer or some other source.
1. Make sure both the printer and computer are turned off.
2. Disconnect the interface cable from the printer.
3. Make sure paper is loaded in the printer.
Caution:
Load paper that’s at least 8.27 inches (210 mm) wide. This prevents
ink from spraying inside the printer and smudging your printouts.
4. Hold down the
E load/eject button
and press the
Ppower button.
Continue holding down the
E load/eject button until the Ppower
light starts to flash, then release it.
The printer prints its ROM version
number and a nozzle check pattern
(shown on page 22).
5. After it prints the check page, turn off
the printer. Then reconnect the interface cable and turn on your printer and
computer.
If the results are satisfactory, the problem lies in your software settings, the interface
cable, or your computer.
If the check page does not print correctly, you may have a problem with your printer.
See the suggestions on page 34 for more information.
