Epson SC-R5000 Series User Manual

o
Have you compared the printing result with
the image on the display monitor?
Since monitors and printers produce colors
differently, printed colors will not always match
on-screen colors perfectly.
o
Was a printer cover opened during printing?
Opening the printer cover or maintenance cover
during printing causes the print head to stop
abruptly, resulting in uneven colors. Do not open
the covers while printing is in progress.
The print is not positioned properly
on the media.
o
Is the media loaded correctly and are the
margins correct?
If the media is not loaded correctly, the results may
be off center or part of the data may not be printed.
You should also check whether the correct options
are selected for Side and Print Start Position in the
setup menu.

U “General Settings menu” on page 106
o
Is the media skewed?
If Off is selected for Detect Paper Skew in the
settings menu, printing will continue when the
media is skewed and data will appear outside the
print area. Set Detect Paper Skew to On in the
settings menu.

o
Is the media wide enough for the print data?
Although printing normally stops if the print image
is wider than the media, data will be printed beyond
the edges of the media if Off is selected for Width
Detection in the setup menu. Choose On for Width
Detection in the setup menu.

Vertical ruled lines are misaligned.
o
Is the media wavy?
Certain types of media may develop waves under
some conditions (humidity and temperature) while
installed in the printer. If a wave has developed,
press the [
] button in the control panel to feed
the media and avoid the affected area. We
recommend that you lower the temperature and
humidity to prevent waves developing.
o
Is the print head misaligned?
If the print head is misaligned, ruled lines may be
misaligned accordingly. When vertical ruled lines
are misaligned, select Print Adjustments - Print
Head Alignment in the media settings to adjust
print head misalignment that occurs during printing.

Is media curled, folded, curved, creased, or
waved?
Cut and remove the curled, folded, curved, creased,
or waved part.
U “Cutting media” on page 65
o
Is media loaded just before printing?
The pressure rollers may crease media left in the
printer, or the media may also become wavy or curled.
o
Is the media too thick or too thin?
❏ Check the media specifications to determine
whether it can be used in the printer.
