Make sure that the machine is on a level surface. Place the
machine where it will not be subject to vibration or shock.
Make sure that the paper being used is supported by the
machine. See page 74 "Supported Paper".
Make sure that the paper type setting of the printer driver
matches the type of paper loaded. See page 72 "Specifying
Paper Type and Paper Size Using the Printer Driver".
Refilled or non-genuine print cartridge reduces print quality
and can cause malfunctions. Use genuine print cartridge only.
Print cartridge should be opened before their expiration date
and used within six months of being opened.
See page 375 "Maintaining the Machine", and clean the
machine as required.
Using the machine in a room where humidity level is too low
may cause black lines of a few millimeters thick to appear on
printouts with 75-millimeter spaces in between. In this case, set
[Low Humidity Mode] to [On].
