The printer prints one page showing its ROM version number, ink counter, and a nozzle check pattern. Only the nozzle check pattern is shown below. (If the pattern has gaps in its dots, you need to clean the print head; see page 11.) Additional Media Loading Guidelines Don't use the cleaning sheets that may be included with your special media; they may damage the printer. t Be sure to load the printable (whiter) side of the media face up in the sheet feeder. t You can load paper up to the arrow mark on the left edge guide. t In addition to the Media Type option, remember to select the correct Paper Size for your media in the printer software. 5. To end the check, turn off the printer after it prints the check page. Then reconnect the interface cable and turn on your printer and computer. If the check page prints, the problem probably lies in your software settings, the interface cable, or your computer. If the check page doesn't print, you may have a problem with your printer. Try the suggestions in "Problems and Solutions" in the Printer Basics book. t If the special media has protective sheets between each sheet of media, be sure to remove the protective sheets before printing. t Some special media have a cut corner that you need to position correctly; follow any instructions in the package. Always handle sheets by the edges, and don't touch the printable surface. t If you're printing on roll paper, never select Auto Sheet Feeder as the Paper Source setting; unnecessary amounts of paper will feed into the printer. t With roll paper, don't use the printer software's Reverse Order or Rotate by 180° settings, or select Maximum or Centered as the Printable Area setting, or use any settings on the Layout dialog box. They won't work with roll paper. t Make sure the edge of the roll paper is cut cleanly-at a 90° angle in each corner-to ensure proper loading.
