User's Guide
Cause
The back of the printed
paper is soiled.
Too much ink is being
released.
Margins appear with
borderless printing.
What to do
Set PAPER SIZE CHECK to ON in the Menu mode.
If the print image is bigger than the paper width and the PAPER SIZE CHECK
is OFF, the image is still printed extending beyond the print area, causing the
inside of the printer to become soiled. In order to keep the inside of the
printer clean, set PAPER SIZE CHECK to ON in the panel settings.
See "PRINTER SETUP" on page 20.
Is the Media Type setting correct?
Make sure that the paper settings of the printer match the paper that you
are using. The discharge of ink is controlled in accordance with the media
type. If you print on plain paper using the photo paper setting, too much ink
will be discharged for the type of paper.
Is the Color Density setting correct?
Lower the density of the ink in Paper Configuration dialog box in the printer
driver. The printer may be discharging too much ink for the paper. See the
online help of the printer driver for detailed information on the Paper
Configuration dialog box.
Are the settings for the print data in the application correct?
Ensure that the paper settings in the application are correct as well as in the
printer driver.
See "Borderless Printing" on page 79.
Are the paper settings correct?
Make sure that the paper settings of the printer match the paper that you
are using.
See "Paper Information" on page 110.
Have you changed the amount of enlargement?
Adjust the amount of enlargement for borderless printing. Margins may
appear if you set the amount of enlargement to Min.
See "Borderless Printing" on page 79.
Is the paper stored correctly?
The paper may expand or contract if it is not stored correctly so that margins
appear even when borderless is set. Refer to the handling instructions for the
paper for correct storage.
Are you using paper that supports borderless printing?
Paper that is not intended for borderless printing may expand or contract
during use so that margins appear even when borderless is set. We
recommend that you use the recommended paper for borderless printing.
