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 Draft.

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 or High in Print Quality.

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 Manual)

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.
