Unexpected Printing Results Ink smeared Cause 1: The selected Media Type does not match the media loaded in the media supply source. Solution 1: Check the paper feed source named in the message. If the paper is not the same as that specified for the job, pause the print job temporarily, load the correct paper, and then print again. (→ P.2-28, P.2-38) Cause 2: The printhead height adjustment lever is at the down position. Solution 1: Return the printhead height adjustment lever to the standard position. (→ P.2-43) Cause 3: You are printing on thick paper or paper that buckles easily. Solution 1: Set the head height adjustment lever to the high position. (→ P.2-43) Cause 4: The paper was loaded incorrectly, causing the paper to crease. Solution 1: Lift the release lever and align the paper position again. Edges smeared with ink Cause 1: The platen has become dirty after a full bleed print job or printing a small media size. Solution 1: Clean the part of the platen under the top cover. (→ P.4-11) Cause 2: The specified Media Type does not match the loaded media type. Solution 1: Check the paper feed source named in the message. If the paper types do not match, pause the print job temporarily, load the correct paper, and then print again. (→ P.2-28, P.2-38) Cause 3: Print media is curled or creased. Solution 1: Smooth out the curls and creases on the paper, and then reload the media. Cause 4: A line is printed at the cutting position because the cutting dust reduction function is turned on. Solution 1: If the cutting dust reduction function is not needed, use the operation panel to turn OFF this feature for the print media in use.
