Basic Operations
Test Printing
Print a test pattern to check that there are no discharging defects such as nozzle clogging (slight touching of ink
or nozzle missing).
About test patterns
This machine provides you two test patterns.
Normal test pattern (when using ink other than white ink)
When you use ink that you can check by printing a test pattern on a white media, print this test pattern.
Test pattern for checking white ink
When you use a white media and wish to check discharging status of white ink, print this test pattern.
Note on test printing
• When using a leaf medium, set one that is larger than an A4-size medium in the longitudinal direction.
• When using a roll medium, rewind the medium by hand before printing so that it is not loose. When the
roll medium has not been rewound tightly, it may cause image quality to deteriorate.
• When detecting the medium and the mode is in cut mode, if you perform test printing as it is, the
following screen will be displayed by pressing the key in Step 2. In this case, press
the key to switch the setting of pinch roller pressure to the print mode and then perform the
test printing.
• If the key is pressed, switching operation will not be
performed.
