    Settings icon

  4. Insert the envelope into the device when the message "Print a Test Pattern?" appears.
  5. Examine the pattern printed on the envelope:
    • Tap Done if the lines are unbroken and match the "Good" test pattern shown on the display.
    • Tap Clean Printhead if the test pattern has missing or incomplete lines.
      • Once the cleaning operation completes, you must print another test pattern.
      • If this new pattern still has broken or missing lines, you may need to replace the ink cartridge or clean or replace the printhead.
      • If you see no improvement in print quality, do not repeat the cleaning, as cleaning the print nozzles consumes ink.
