    Missing blocks indicate dot drop-out. Collapsed or inclined blocks indicate dot displacement.
    MEMO Even if nozzle drop-out does not appear to be improved by cleaning, it may be possible to ignore the effect on products if drop-out occurs in just a few locations. Try printing. If you can judge that the product is not affected, use the printer without any further cleaning.
