Vertical color unevenness occurs
when printing from the auto sheet
feeder
Are the rollers for the auto sheet feeder dirty?
o
Dirt on the rollers can cause vertical color
unevenness in the printouts. Try cleaning the rollers.
When vertical color unevenness occurs on glossy
paper, we recommend feeding and printing one
sheet at a time from Cut Sheet(1 sheet) instead of
using the auto sheet feeder.

If these measures do not resolve the issue, check the
following items.
Is the Color Density setting appropriate?
o
If you feel that lines in drawings are too light, then
on the printer driver Advanced screen, click >Paper
Configuration, and increase the ink density.
Conversely, if the ink density is too high on tracing
paper, either reduce the ink density or select
Tracing Paper<LowDuty> as the Paper Type
setting on the printer, and then print.
Have you tried changing the print quality
o
settings?
In the printer driver Printer Settings- Print Quality,
select Print with High Quality and try printing. If
this is not selected, this places priority on speed,
however this can adversely impact print quality to
some extent.

Enable color management.

Have you compared the printing result with
o
the image on the display monitor?
Since the monitor and the printer produce colors
differently, printed colors will not always match
on-screen colors perfectly.
Did you open the front cover while printing?
o
If the front cover is opened while printing, the print
head stops suddenly, causing unevenness in color.
Do not open the front cover while printing.
Make sure the transportation caps are in the
o
printing position.
If the transportation caps are in the transportation
position, you cannot print because ink is not supplied.
