Test Printing
Print a nozzle check pattern and check whether there are discharge defects such as nozzle clogging
(blurring or drop-out of printing).
You cannot print a test pattern on narrow media. When performing test printing, use media that has a
width of 420 mm (approx. 16.5 inches) or more.
• When using roll media, rewind the roll media and make sure there is no warping before printing.
Failure to do so may cause defects in image quality.

lever will abort printing.
