Epson SC-T5100 User Manual

o
Have you compared the printing result with
the image on the display monitor?
Since the monitor and the printer produce colors
dierently, printed colors will not always match
on-screen colors perfectly.
o
Did you open the front cover while printing?
If the front cover is opened while printing, the print
head stops suddenly, causing unevenness in color.
Do not open the front cover while printing.
The color is not exactly the same as
another printer.
o
Colors vary depending on the printer type
due to each printer's characteristics.
Because inks, printer drivers, and printer proles are
developed for each printer model, the colors printed
by dierent printer models are not exactly the same.
You can achieve similar colors with the same color
adjustment method or the same gamma setting by
using the printer driver.

o
Have you
specied
the print area?
Check the print area in the settings of the
application and the printer.
o
Is the Document Size setting correct?
If the option selected for Document Size or Paper
Size in the printer driver does not match the paper

printed. In this case, check the print settings.

o
After media adjust, does the same problem
occur?
In the printer driver Printer Settings screen, deselect
Simple Settings in the Print Quality eld. Select
Level - Max Quality, deselect High Speed, and try
printing.
However, printing may take some time.
Bidirectional printing moves the print head left and
right while printing, so if the print head is
misaligned (with gaps), ruled lines may be printed
as misaligned.
The printed surface is scued or
soiled.
o
Is the paper too thick or too thin?
Check that the paper
specications
