Banding In Different Colors Occurs - Canon iPF6300 User Manual

There may be a slight difference in how colors are printed after
Printhead replacement because of individual variation among
printheads.
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 se-
lection of the Media Configuration Tool.
Changing the region selection of the Media Configuration Tool
deletes the region-specific paper information originally regis-
tered 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

Cause
The paper feed amount is out of
adjustment.
Printing does not proceed smooth-
ly because print jobs are interrup-
ted during transmission.
In the Control Panel menu, Adj.
Priority is set to Print Length.
The Printhead is out of alignment.
The Printhead nozzles are clogged.
Streaks may occur if you set the
Print Quality too low.
The type of paper specified in the
printer driver does not match the
type loaded in the printer.

Cause
Adjust the feed amount.
(See "Adjusting the Feed Amount.")
If printed sheets are affected by banding in different colors by the trailing
edge (about 20–30 mm (0.8–1.2 in) from the edge), try adjusting the feed
amount of the trailing edge of sheets.
(See "Adjusting Color on the Trailing Edge of Sheets.")
Exit other applications and cancel other print jobs.
Setting Adj. Priority to Print Quality in the Control Panel menu and adjust-
ing the feed amount may improve results.
(See "Adjusting the Feed Amount.")
Adjust the Printhead alignment.
(See "Automatic Adjustment to Straighten Lines and Colors (Head Posi.
Adj.).")

Print a test pattern to check the nozzles and see if they are clogged.
(See "Checking for Nozzle Clogging.")
Choose a higher level of Print Quality in the Advanced Settings of the
printer driver and try printing again.
Printing in Draft or Standard mode is faster and consumes less ink than in
Highest or High modes, but the printing quality is lower.
(See "Giving Priority to Particular Graphic Elements and Colors for Print-
ing.")
→P.49
Load paper of the same type as you have specified in the printer driver.
(See "Loading Rolls in the Printer.")
(See "Loading Sheets in the Feed Slot.")
Make sure the same type of paper is specified in the printer driver as you
have loaded in the printer.
