2.If you have followed the installation instructions carefully and you find that you cannot print out a perfect nozzle check then please follow the ‘How to Get a Good Nozzle Check’ instructions carefully (see Appendix B).
3.If still you cannot get a nozzle check follow the ‘Bad Nozzle Check Flow Chart’ (see

Press the ink button and as the cartridges move to the left unplug the mains supply from the printer.
This allows the print head to be moved manually.
Take out any cartridges and remove the cartridge lid using the supplied screwdriver as shown.
Remove all the small bungs from the bottles. (Do not throw these away as you will
need these for re-filling the bottles)
Using the long needle attachment on the 10ml syringe draw any air out of the centre chamber (through the small hole). Repeat this on each color then fit the air filters supplied.
