Is Data Width selected for Head Movement?
o
Selecting Data Width for Head Movement in the setup menu increases print speed but may slightly reduce print quality. For
better quality results, select Printer Full Width for Head Movement. See "The Printer Setup Menu" on page 115.
Have you compared the printing result with the image on the display monitor?
o
Since monitors and printers produce colors differently, printed colors will not always match on-screen colors perfectly.
Was a printer cover opened during printing?
o
Opening covers during printing causes the print head to stop abruptly, resulting in uneven colors. Do not open the covers
while printing is in progress.
The print is not positioned properly on the media.
Is the media loaded correctly and are the margins correct?
o
If the media is not loaded correctly, the results may be off center or part of the data may not be printed. You should also check
whether the correct options are selected for Side Margin and Print Start Position in the setup menu.
See "Loading Media" on page 28 and "The Printer Setup Menu" on page 115.
Is the media skewed?
o
If Off is selected for Media Skew Check in the setup menu, printing will continue when the media is skewed and data will
appear outside the print area. Set Media Skew Check to On in the Menu.
See "The Printer Setup Menu" on page 115.
Is the media wide enough for the print data?
o
Although printing normally stops if the print image is wider than the media, data will be printed beyond the edges of the
media if Off is selected for Media Size Check in the setup menu. Choose On for Media Size Check in the setup menu.
See "The Printer Setup Menu" on page 115.
Vertical ruled lines are misaligned.
Is the print head misaligned? (in bidirectional printing)
o
With bidirectional printing, the print head prints while moving left and right. If the print head is misaligned, ruled lines may be
misaligned accordingly. If vertical ruled lines are misaligned with bidirectional printing, perform a Head Alignment.
See "Correcting Print Misalignment (Head Alignment)" on page 71.
The printed surface is scuffed or soiled.
Is the media too thick or too thin?
o
Check media specifications to confirm that it is compatible with the printer. If you are using a software RIP, contact the
manufacturer for information on the settings and media that can be used.
Is the media wavy?
o
Certain types of media may develop waves under some conditions (humidity and temperature) while installed in the printer.
If a wave has developed, press the d button in the control panel to feed the media and avoid the affected area. We
recommend that you lower the temperature and humidity to prevent waves developing.
