In Quality Options from the printer driver,
o
set Paper Edge Quality to Add Top Margin
or Optimize Media Edge Print Quality.
Add Top Margin prints everything in dual head
mode, so it prints at the same print speed as normal,
but the leading edge margin is larger than normal.
Since Optimize Media Edge Print Quality prints
everything in single head mode, the print speed is
slower than normal.
The print is not positioned properly
on the media.
Have you specified the print area?
o
Check the print area in the settings of the
application and the printer.
Is the correct option selected for Page Size?
o
If the option selected for Roll Paper Width or Paper
Size in the printer driver does not match the paper
loaded in the printer, the print may not be in the
correct position or some of the data may be printed
off the paper. In this case, check the print settings.
Is the paper skewed?
o
If Off is selected for Detect Paper Skew in the
Printer Settings menu, printing will continue even if
the paper is skewed, resulting in data being printed
off the paper. Select ON for Detect Paper Skew in
the Printer Settings menu.

Does the print data fit within the paper
o
width?
Although under normal circumstances printing
stops if the print image is wider than the paper, the
printer may print outside the bounds of the paper
when Off is selected for Paper Size Check in the
Printer Settings menu. Change the setting to ON.

Are the settings for Top Margin too short?
o
If the values set for Top Margin in the Paper menu
are wider than the margins set in the application,
priority will be given to the values selected for Top
Margin. For example, if 15 mm is selected for the
left and right margins in the printer's Paper menu
and you print data created in an application that is
set to fill the paper size, the 15 mm at the left and
right sides of the page will not be printed.

U
Vertical ruled lines are misaligned.
Is the print head misaligned? (in
o
bidirectional printing)
With bidirectional printing, the print head prints
while moving left and right. If the print head is
misaligned, ruled lines may be misaligned
accordingly. If vertical ruled lines are misaligned
with bidirectional printing, perform Ruled Line
Alignment.

The printed surface is scuffed or
soiled.
Is the paper too thick or too thin?
o
Check that the paper specifications are compatible
with this printer.

appropriate settings for printing on paper from
other manufacturers or when using RIP software,

contact the dealer of the paper or the manufacturer
of the RIP.
Is the paper wrinkled or creased?
o
Do not use old paper or paper with creases in it.
Always use new paper.
