Troubleshooting

This section gives troubleshooting tips in case of problems.

Depression on the leading edge is

left

Keeping a roll in the printer for a

long time without printing on it may

leave a depression on the leading

edge.

When printing quality is most important, we

recommend setting TrimEdge Reload to On or

Automatic so that the paper edge is automatically cut

before printing.

Paper is jammed by the paper feed

slot. (→, If Roll Paper Jams)

(→, If a Sheet Jams)

Remove the jammed paper.

You are using paper that cannot be

cut with the Cutter Unit.

Specify Manual in Cutting Mode in the Control

Panel menu and use scissors or a cutting tool to cut

the roll after printing.

(→"Specifying the Cutting Method for Rolls," User's

Guide)

After a roll was advanced, the

paper was manually pulled out

by force, closing the Paper Feed

Slot.

Remove the roll and open the paper feed slot.

(→, Removing the Roll from the Printer)

In the Control Panel menu,

Cutting Mode is set to Eject or

Manual.

If the Cutting Mode is Eject, press the Cut button to

cut the paper.

Troubleshooting

Problems with the Printing Quality

Phenomenon

Printing is faint

You may be printing on the wrong

side of the paper.

The ink was not dry when paper

was cut.

The Printhead nozzles are

clogged.

Because the printer was left

without ink tanks installed for some

time, ink has become clogged in

the ink supply system.

Paper is jammed inside the Top

Cover.

Printing may be faint if Print

Quality in Advanced Settings

in the printer driver is set to

Standard or Fast.

Print on the printing surface.

Close the Top Cover.

Specify a longer drying period in the Control Panel

menu, in Paper Details > Roll DryingTime.

Print a test pattern to check the nozzles and see if

they are clogged.

After the ink tanks have been installed for 24 hours,

run Head Cleaning B from the Control Panel.

Follow the steps below to remove the jammed piece

of paper inside the Top Cover.

Open the Top Cover and make sure the Carriage

is not over the Platen.

Remove any scraps of paper inside the Top Cover.

In Advanced Settings of the printer driver, choose

Highest quality or High in Print Quality.

Cause Corrective Action

(→"Checking for Nozzle Clogging," User's Guide)

(→, If Printing is Faint)

(→, Menu Map)

Printing in Fast or Standard mode is faster and

consumes less ink than in Highest quality or High

modes, but the printing quality is lower.

Paper rubs against the printhead

The type of paper specified in the

printer driver does not match the

type loaded in the printer.

The Printhead is set too low in the

Control Panel menu.

Paper has been loaded incorrectly,

causing it to wrinkle.

You are printing on heavyweight

paper or paper that curls or

wrinkles easily after absorbing ink.

Load paper of the same type as you have specified in

the printer driver.

Make sure the same type of paper is specified in the

printer driver as you have loaded in the printer.

Press the Stop button and stop printing.

Change the type of paper in the printer driver and

try printing again.

In the Control Panel menu, set Head Height to

Automatic.

based media, choose a VacuumStrngth setting of

Standard, Strong, or Strongest in the Control Panel

menu. If rubbing still occurs, in the Control Panel

menu, use a higher Head Height setting.

When printing on Heavyweight Coated Paper or

other paper-based media, choose a VacuumStrngth

setting of Strong or Strongest in the Control Panel

menu. If rubbing still occurs, in the Control Panel

Troubleshooting

Printed colors are inaccurate Color adjustment has not been

activated in the Advanced

Settings of the printer driver.

The Printhead nozzles are

clogged.

Adjust the settings of the color management software,

referring to the software documentation as needed.

There may be a slight difference

in how colors are printed after

Printhead replacement because

of individual variation among

printheads.

Colors have not been adjusted on

the computer or monitor.

In the Windows printer driver,

Application Color Matching

Priority is not selected.

In the Advanced Settings of the printer driver, access

Color Settings in Color Mode to adjust colors.

Print a test pattern to check the nozzles and see if

they are clogged.

Execute color calibration.

Refer to the computer and monitor documentation to

adjust the colors.

Click Special Settings on the Layout sheet of the

printer driver and select Application Color Matching

Priority in the dialog box.

(→"Checking for Nozzle Clogging," User's Guide)

Printhead characteristics gradually

change through repeated use, and

colors may change.

Execute color calibration.

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.

Follow these steps to prepare the printing

environment.

Use the same version of firmware or printer driver.1.

Specify the same value for all settings items.2.

Execute color calibration.3.

When reinstalling the printer driver,

you changed the region selection

of the Media Configuration Tool.

Prepare paper compatible with calibration in the newly

selected region and perform calibration again.

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 prevent the resulting

calibration adjustment value from

being applied to all other types of

the paper.
