Beware

1) Printing direction
When you successively print on multiple media an image in which linear elements are dominant and they
run horizontally relative to the direction in which the disc tray slides out (Figure 1), there are occasions
where the print head retains these linear image elements after completing the print session and, when
you start the next print session using another image, this residual image is also output. (This is because
localized energy is applied to the print head over and over again and this causes its uniformity in
resistivity to lose and thus producing a residual image. This is due to the inherent characteristics of the
print heads available and inevitable.)
To lessen the residual image effect, we recommend setting the image direction in graphics software so
that the linear elements run vertically relative to the direction in which the disc tray slides out, as shown
in Figure 2.
Also, when you use an image in which crossed linear elements are dominant as shown in Figure 3, we
recommend setting the image direction in graphics software so that these elements run at an angle of 45
degrees relative to the direction in which the disc tray slides out, as shown in Figure 4.
