3.6 Test Printout
This printer has a built-in self-test function that can be executed without any
connection to a computer.
With the power off, press and hold the
POWER
button until the beeper has sounded
twice. Release the
POWER
button to start the test print.
If you print the nozzle check pattern on plain paper, you will not be able to check the
printing of the ink optimizer, which is semi-transparent.
In this case, check the checker pattern at the top right of the nozzle check pattern for
ink smears to see the general status of ink optimizer jetting.
If you need to check each nozzle for ink optimizer, print the nozzle check pattern on
transparency material for bubble jet printers. Check the reflected light from the
pattern to check the status of the nozzles. If it is difficult to see, coat the back surface
with black ink, etc., or position the transparency on black paper. If you print a nozzle
check pattern with the BC-61 cartridge installed, the part printed by the photo head
shown in Figure 3-20 will not be printed.
