  4. Check whether there is dot drop-out or dot displacement in the test pattern.
    Missing sections in the test pattern indicate "dot drop-out," while a collapsed or sloping test pattern indicates "dot displacement." If the test pattern is difficult to see, open the front cover or remove the nozzle drop-out test paper, and then change the angle to check the pattern.
