Immediately after borderless printing, the trailing edge margin is soiled during regular printing

Immediately after borderless printing, the trailing edge margin is soiled during regular printing
Cause
Depending on your printing environment, after bor-
derless printing in which the leading and trailing edge
of the roll is cut automatically, any ink adhering to the
cutter unit may rub off on the next printed document.

Printed colors are inaccurate

Printed colors are inaccurate
Color adjustment has not been activated in the Advanced
Settings of the printer driver.
Colors have not been adjusted on the computer or monitor.
The Printhead nozzles are clogged.
In the Windows printer driver, Application Color Matching
Priority is not selected.
There may be a slight difference in how colors are printed af-
ter 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
selection of the Media Configuration Tool.
Changing the region selection of the Media Configuration
Tool deletes the region-specific paper information originally
registered on the printer before installation. Using paper with
deleted information when executing color calibration will pre-
vent the resulting calibration adjustment value from being ap-
plied to all other types of the paper.

Banding in different colors occurs

Banding in different colors occurs
Cause
The paper feed amount is out of adjust-
ment.
