Some objects are missing from the printed image
Large quantities of data may be necessary to print a high-quality large-format print job, and in some specic
workows there may be issues that can lead to some objects missing from the output. Here are some
suggestions to help you to avoid this problem.
●
Select a smaller page size and scale to the desired nal page size in the driver or in the front panel.
●
Save the le in another format, such as TIFF or EPS, and open it with another application.
●
Use a RIP to print the le.
●
Reduce the resolution of bitmap images in your application software.
●
Select a lower print quality in order to reduce the resolution of the printed image.
NOTE: If you are working under Mac OS X, not all of these options are available.
These options are suggested for troubleshooting purposes and may adversely aect the nal output quality
or the time necessary to generate the print job. Therefore, they should be cancelled if they do not help to
solve the problem.
Lines are too thick, too thin or missing
1. Check that the paper type you have loaded corresponds to the paper type selected in the front panel and
in your software. See View information about the paper on page 42.
2. Check that you are using appropriate print-quality settings for your purposes (see Printing on page 50).
Select the custom print-quality options in the driver dialog, and try turning on the Maximum detail
option (if available). You may wish to reprint your job at this point in case the problem has been solved.
3. If the resolution of your image is greater than the printing resolution, you may notice a loss of line
quality.
4. If lines are too thin or missing, print the Image Diagnostics Print. See The Image Diagnostics Print
on page 146.
5.
If the problem remains, go to the front panel and press , then , then Image-quality
maintenance > Calibration Status to see the printhead alignment status. If the status is PENDING, you
should align the printheads. See Align the printheads on page 153. After alignment, you may wish to
reprint your job in case the problem has been solved.
6.
Go to the front panel and press , then , then Image-quality maintenance > Calibration Status
to see the paper advance calibration status. If the status is DEFAULT, you should perform paper advance
calibration: see Recalibrate the paper advance on page 132.
