A: The phenomenon may occur at a relatively high occurrence ratio. (Caution needed)
B: The phenomenon may occur in specific conditions, however the occurrence ratio is expected to be considerably low in the actual usage.
C: As the phenomenon is unlikely to be recognized by general users, it is expected to cause no claims from the users.
curled, causing the print head to rub
against the printed surface of paper,
resulting in smearing.
When borderless printing is conducted
continuously, ink mist attaches to the ribs
on the platen, and is transferred to the
backside of the following paper.
When the paper end comes off the pinch
roller, printing is performed without the
paper being held, preventing the ink drops
from being ejected in the correct positions,
resulting in unevenness.
Note: The problem is more severe than
that of the i320/PIXUS 320i.
As the print media slightly slips while being
fed by the LF roller, printed areas overlap,
causing the problem.
