Check 3 : Print the Nozzle Check Pattern and perform any necessary maintenance operations such as Print Head Cleaning.
Print the Nozzle Check Pattern to determine whether the ink ejects properly from the print head nozzles.
Refer to "Printing the Nozzle Check Pattern", "Cleaning the Print Head", and "Cleaning the Print Head Deeply".
- If the Nozzle Check Pattern is not printed correctly: After performing the Print Head Cleaning, print the Nozzle Check Pattern and examine the pattern.
- If the problem is not resolved after performing the Print Head Cleaning twice: Perform the Print Head Deep Cleaning. If the problem is not resolved after performing the Print Head Deep Cleaning, try it again.

Check 5 : When using paper with one printable surface, make sure that the paper is loaded with the printable side facing up.
Printing on the wrong side of such paper may cause unclear prints or prints with reduced quality.
Refer to the paper's instruction manual for detailed information on the printable side.
Print from the memory card or from the digital camera directly, or reprint from the computer.
If you copy a printout done by this machine, print quality may be reduced.
