Printing a nozzle check pattern can help determine if your printhead needs alignment or cleaning.

Right-click the Canon S200 printer icon, then select Properties. 4. Click the Maintenance tab, then click the Nozzle Check button. 5. Click OK to start the nozzle test. The nozzle test pattern will print. 6. Examine the printout to determine the next action: • Lines missing in the printout indicate that the printhead requires cleaning. See “Cleaning the Printhead” on page 27. • Uneven patterns indicate that the printhead needs to be aligned. See “Aligning the Printhead” on page 29. 25 S200 QS.book Page 26 Tuesday, September 18, 2001 9:02 AM Printing Maintenance To print a nozzle check pattern in Mac OS: 1.
