LINES MISMATCHED ALL ALONG PRINTING SURFACE
Probably due to a bad adjustment of the plotter.:
1 -
Check that paper cones are well placed (with the arrows properly
aligned), and properly tight.
2 - Perform a User adjust.
3 - If results get better but still little bit mismatched, perform adjust twice, as every time you realize
again the adjustment, values on it are more accurate.

POOR PRINTING DENSITY
Note: Make sure that the cartridges are original and they are not relled/recycled
1 - First check that the cartridges have ink and are not clogged. For this use
a tissue and clean the nozzels, you can also send a high density marker from
the menu -> Ink&Paper -> Clean Heads -> Print Pattern
Then print again, if the lines get poor at the time that plotter is printing, can be
due for, defective cartridge, low relative moisture in the room (recommended
30% at least for the proper function of the cartridge).
2 - Verify that the Cartridge control board pins are clean, free of any dust or
ink, and that they are not damaged or bent
3 - If after this recommendations still getting poor, replace the cartridge.
MISMATCHED LINES IN ONE CERTAIN AREA
If the lines are just mismatched all the time in one certain area, is due to some
encoder strip defect, procedure to follow is the next:
1 - Perform an encoder strip test.
If the test detect some fail, search in the encoder strip some bends, curves,
scratches or dirty on it in the point where the printhead has stopped (for this
operation is highly recommended to disassembly the front and back cover of
the plotter to see well the encoder strip).
Try to clean the encoder strip with a soft paper tissue without water or any
kind of chemical product and without an excessive pressure on it to avoid
produce scratches or erase the lines of the strip.
2 - If the encoder have damages, scratches or eroded parts, replace the strip and recheck the position of
the print head electronic board reader.
3 - Set the origin after the damaged part.
