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
Cause
Color adjustment has not been activated in the Ad-
vanced Settings of the printer driver.
Colors have not been adjusted on the computer or moni-
tor.
The Printhead nozzles are clogged.
In the Windows printer driver, Application Color Match-
ing Priority is not selected.
There may be a slight difference in how colors are prin-
ted after Printhead replacement because of individual
variation among printheads.
Printhead characteristics gradually change through re-
peated 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.
