Checking the print head nozzles
If the print head nozzles are clogged, the printing may be faint even though there is ink, or unusual colors may be
printed. The nozzle check prints a pattern for checking the status of the nozzles, and you can check if the nozzles are
clogged by looking at this pattern.
