  Is the substrate surface clean and suitable for
Thermal Transfer printing?
 Is the dwell time sufficient for the amount of print
required?
  Is the parent machine giving the printer a print
signal?
 Is there too much / not enough start pulse
offset? Is the substrate still moving when
printing?
 Is the encoder wheel turning and sending pulses
to the controller?
  Is the parent machine advancing the substrate
correctly?
