How to print a nozzle check on the F2200

This article explains how to print a nozzle check pattern on the SC-F2200. This should be completed before printing to ensure optimum print quality.

Follow the steps below to print a nozzle check pattern:

  • Place a piece of transparent paper onto the centre of the platen. You may need to secure it into position with tape.

  • Alternatively, it can be printed directly onto the platen if you are not using the grip pad.
  • Ensure that the platen is set to level P

  • On the printer control panel, press the 'Menu' button
  • Select 'Maintenance'
  • Select 'Print Head Nozzle Check'
  • Press 'Start'

If the nozzle check pattern is complete, continue to printing. If there are any gaps, perform a head clean to recover the missing nozzles.
