If you find that the printout is unexpectedly faint or that dots are missing, you may be able to identify the problem by checking the print head nozzles.

You can check the print head nozzles from your computer by using the Nozzle Check utility or from the printer by using the buttons. For more information on using the printer buttons, see the Basic Operation Guide.

Note:

If the ink low icon is displayed in the upper-left corner of the LCD screen, you cannot check the print head. Replace the appropriate ink cartridge first.
