The printout has a scale which marks the actual geometric position of the dots. The scale will be printed underneath
the black bar with the text "Printhead prole". It is possible to compare a single dot to the scale as demonstrated in
the following diagram.
The gure indicates a print image failure around 22.5 mm in the black bar. In the scale section of the diagram, a dot
with an increased resistance value appears around 22.5 mm. Using this comparison makes it clear that the image
fault on the top line is caused by a defective printhead and not a case of a dirty printhead surface.
