Is media printed at a high density being taken
up? (SC-F7100 Series)
If thin media or media lengthened by water
absorption is printed at a high density is being taken
up, creases may appear in the media. In the setup
menu, set Take-up Tension to Manual, and set the
value to Lv1 or Lv2. Alternatively, we recommend
using thicker media.

Is the after heater temperature too high?
Adjust the after heater temperature to suit the media.
Try selecting Off for Tension Measurement in
the setup menus.
Automatic tensioning may fail to maintain some types
of media at the appropriate tension, resulting in
excessive slack or other tensioning problems that
interfere with printing.

Is the media creased or folded?
Media with a strong curl or that is folded back on its
leading edge or creased may cause jams or other
media feed problems. Do not use media affected by
these types of problems.
Is the media too thick or too thin?
Check the media specifications to determine whether
it can be used in the printer. If you are using a software
RIP, contact the manufacturer for information on the
settings and media that can be used.
