5.4.4 How to Check Head Nozzles
After filling the inks, this procedure uses printing results to check whether the head nozzles are ejecting the
ink properly. If the nozzles are ejecting ink badly, implement the cleaning treatment in this procedure. If there
is no media, the printer will request media. If it is out of ink, it will ask for an ink cartridge. If there is media
and ink, the Head Nozzle Check Pattern will be plotted.
Note:
 If there are cartridges but the ink has not been filled, the printer will still start printing.
This and subsequent items that require printing for adjustment or checking include requests for media and
inks. If the [CANCEL] key is pressed during printing, the printer will stop printing.
If [ENTER] is pressed while “Nozzle check completed” is displayed, the “AJST: BlackTilt” menu will be
appear. If [Back] is pressed while no processing is in progress, “AJST: ChkNozzles” will be restored.
