Was loaded media allowed to stand for some time?

Media may shrink or wrinkle if it is heated for an extended time. When printing ends, switch off the sub power
and remove the media.

Are the media clamps attached?

When you are performing printing, be sure to attach the media clamps.

Was the media loaded while the print heater was hot?

Loading media after the print heater has warmed up causes the temperature of the media to rise suddenly, which
may cause the media to shrink or wrinkle during printing. Before loading media, switch off the sub power and
allow the platen to cool.

Is the humidity of the room too high?

Use the machine in an environment with a humidity of 35 to 80%RH (no condensation).
