3. Perform a printing test to check the results.

Before you carry out actual printing, perform a printing test to ensure no dot drop-out or dot displacement occurs. If dot drop-out or dot displacement occurs, perform cleaning of the print heads (normal cleaning).
MEMO When performing printing tests successively, you can select Feed (vertical printing) or Scan (horizontal printing) as the printing position for the second and later tests in comparison to the first test.
