o
Did you open the printer cover while
printing?
If the printer cover is opened while printing, the print
head stops suddenly causing unevenness in the color.
Do not open the printer cover while printing.
The print is not positioned properly
on the paper.
o
Have you specified the print area?
Check the print area in the settings of the application
and the printer.
o
Is the paper skewed?
If Off is selected for Paper Skew Check in the Setup
menu, printing will continue even if the paper is
skewed, resulting in data being printed outside the
paper area. Select On in Paper Skew Check from the
Setup menu.

o
Does the print data fit within the paper
width?
Although under normal circumstances printing stops
if the print image is wider than the paper, the printer
may print beyond the edges of the paper when Off is
set for Paper Size Check in the Setup menu. If it prints
beyond the edges of the paper, the inside of the
printer becomes dirty with ink.
Changed settings are reflected when the paper is
reloaded.

o
Is the print head misaligned? (in bidirectional
printing)
With bidirectional printing, the print head prints while
moving left and right. If the print head is misaligned,
ruled lines may be misaligned accordingly. If vertical
ruled lines are misaligned with bidirectional printing,
perform Head Alignment.
