Diagnostic Print B interpretation
1.
For each color in the pattern in
Diagnostic Print B
, you are asked about the
quality—look for missing lines. If you answer that a color is defective, the
printer tries to clean that printhead.
If the printhead cleaning process completes,
Diagnostic Print B
is printed
again and you are asked the same questions again.
2.
Afterwards, if problems with images remain, use the
Troubleshooting
procedure again.
If none of the patterns or blocks in the two
Diagnostic Prints
shows any problem, it could be that your print
quality problem is caused by a wrong setting in your software, or perhaps the job should have been printed with
the
Print quality
set to
Best
instead of
Normal
or
Draft
.
If the
Troubleshooting
routine didn’t indicate that printhead alignment was necessary, you can select
Align
printheads
in the Ink menu to try to solve any further print quality problems.
