Feed the envelope through the device when the message Print a test pattern? appears.
Examine the pattern printed on the envelope:
Tap
Done

Tap
Clean Print Nozzle
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.
