Immediately after borderless printing, the trailing edge margin is soiled during regular printing

Immediately after borderless printing, the trailing edge margin is soiled during regular printing
Cause
Depending on your printing environment, after border-
less printing in which the leading and trailing edge of
the roll is cut automatically, any ink adhering to the cut-
ter unit may rub off on the next printed document.

Printed colors are inaccurate

Printed colors are inaccurate
Color adjustment has not been activated in the Advanced Settings
of the printer driver.
Colors have not been adjusted on the computer or monitor.
The Printhead nozzles are clogged.
In the Windows printer driver, Application Color Matching Priority
is not selected.
There may be a slight difference in how colors are printed after
Printhead replacement because of individual variation among print-
heads.
Printhead characteristics gradually change through repeated use,
and colors may change.
Color may change slightly even on the same model of printer if you
use a different version of the firmware or printer driver, or when you
print under different settings or in a different printing environment.
When reinstalling the printer driver, you changed the region selec-
tion of the Media Configuration Tool.
Changing the region selection of the Media Configuration Tool dele-
tes the region-specific paper information originally registered on the
printer before installation. Using paper with deleted information
when executing color calibration will prevent the resulting calibration
adjustment value from being applied to all other types of the paper.

Banding in different colors occurs

Banding in different colors occurs
Cause
The paper feed amount is out of adjustment.
Printing does not proceed smoothly because
print jobs are interrupted during transmission.
