Chapter3 Handling Cleaning the Print Head If the nozzles are clogged, faint colors, banding, or unintended colors appear on printouts. When such print quality problems occur, print nozzle check patterns and check for nozzle clogging. c IMPORTANT When printing the nozzle check pattern, load paper that is at least 21.4 mm (0.84 inches) wide and 38.6 mm (1.52 inches) long. Amount of Remaining Paper Required to Print a Nozzle Check Pattern Continuous paper / continuous label If the paper width is 21.4 mm (0.84 inches) to 39.0 mm (1.54 inches): 273.5 mm (10.77 inches) If the paper width is 39.1 mm (1.54 inches) or more:
197.4 mm (7.77 inches) Printing a nozzle check pattern with black mark detection still enabled may increase the amount of remaining paper required. We recommend using settings where black marks are not detected, even for paper with black marks, when printing. Die-cut label (included roll paper) For the included roll paper, the nozzle check pattern can be printed with two labels. Included roll paper: paper width 108.0 mm (4.25 inches), paper length 174.8 mm (6.88 inches), gap between pages 3.0 mm (0.12 inches) When printing the nozzle check pattern with die-cut labels, the amount of remaining paper required depends on the paper width, paper length, and gap between pages.
Since some combinations require paper lengths of up to 531 mm (20.9 inches), we recommend using continuous paper, continuous labels, or the included roll paper. 306
