Printing a test pattern
Printing a test pattern lets you see if the printhead is functioning properly or if you have enough ink in the cartridge.
- Tap Settings.
- Scroll down and tap .
- Tap Print Test Pattern.
- When the message "Print Test Pattern?" appears, feed a document through the device.
- Examine the pattern printed on the document:
- Tap Done if the lines are unbroken and match the "Good" test pattern shown on the display.
- Tap Clean Print Nozzle if the test pattern has missing or incomplete lines.
- Once the cleaning operation completes, you must print another test pattern.
- If this new pattern still has broken or missing lines, you may need to replace the ink cartridge or clean or replace the printhead.
- If you see no improvement in print quality, do not repeat the cleaning, as cleaning the print nozzles consumes ink.
