Follow these steps to print a nozzle check:

  1. Turn off the Stylus CX.


  2. Load letter-size paper in the sheet feeder.


  3. Press the ink and On buttons together and hold them down for about 3 seconds.

    The Stylus CX turns on and prints a test pattern, which includes anozzle check. Shown below are some examples of what the nozzle checkmay look like.

If any of the colors is missing, perform a head cleaning routine. It appears that the magenta head is having some problem. Try printing again after performing a head cleaning task. If the problem continues you might need to replace the head.

Thank you.
