      To improve Roland Printer print quality, start by printing the nozzle check test pattern. If necessary, clean the print heads. If you see blurred or double lines, adjust the head position. Ensure the fabric's printing surface is flat and check for fabric compatibility. If using an optional finisher, lower the temperature and adjust it for the fabric. If the heater and fabric are in contact, attach the spacer to the inside of the tray.

      If the Roland Printer tray isn't working correctly, ensure the fabric is loaded smoothly from the center outward. Straighten out the fabric before printing. Tuck under any fabric edges protruding from the tray. Try removing the loaded fabric and loading a usable fabric. Adjust the tray height if uneven fabric is loaded. If the fabric is wrinkly, set [Select Print Quality:] to [Fine]. Push the tray in slowly until it clicks. Adjust the tray height if it's too high. Remove any foreign objects inside the machine.
