Troubleshooting > Problems with the printing quality > The back side of the paper is dirty Cause The Platen has become dirty after borderless printing or printing on small paper. The Platen has become soiled because you have set Width Detection to Off in the Control Panel menu. The Paper Retainer is soiled. Corrective Action Open the Top Cover and clean the Platen. (See "Cleaning Inside the Top Cover.") →P.1026 In the Control Panel menu, set CarriageScanWdth to Fixed. (See "Menu Settings.") →P.912 Set Width Detection to On in the Control Panel menu, and then open the Top Cover and clean the Platen. (See "Cleaning Inside the Top Cover.") →P.1026 Open the Top Cover and clean the Platen. After this, manually advance the roll onto the Platen before printing. (See "Cleaning Inside the Top Cover.") →P.1026 (See "Feeding Roll Paper Manually.") →P.790 Clean the Paper Retainer. (See "Cleaning Inside the Top Cover.") →P.1026 12 1060 Printed colors are inaccurate Cause Color adjustment has not been activated in the Advanced Settings of the printer driver. Colors have not been adjusted on the computer or monitor. The Printhead nozzles are clogged. In the Windows printer driver, Application Color Matching Priority is not selected. There may be a slight difference in how colors are printed after Printhead replacement because of individual variation among printheads. Printhead characteristics gradually change through repeated use, and colors may change. Color may change slightly even on the same model of printer if you use a different version of the firmware or printer driver, or when you print under different settings or in a different printing environment. Corrective Action In the Advanced Settings of the printer driver, access Color Settings in Color Mode to adjust colors. Refer to the computer and monitor documentation to adjust the colors. Adjust the settings of the color management software, referring to the software documentation as needed. Print a test pattern to check the nozzles and see if they are clogged. (See "Checking for Nozzle Clogging.") →P.998 Click Special Settings on the Layout sheet of the printer driver and select Application Color Matching Priority in the dialog box. Execute color calibration. Execute color calibration. Follow these steps to prepare the printing environment. 1. Use the same version of firmware or printer driver. 2. Specify the same value for all settings items. 3. Execute color calibration. The back side of the paper is dirty iPF8300

Special Settings

printheads.

Execute color calibration.

Printhead characteristics gradually change through repeated use,

and colors may change.

Execute color calibration.

Color may change slightly even on the same model of printer if

you use a different version of the firmware or printer driver, or

when you print under different settings or in a different printing

environment.

Follow these steps to prepare the printing envi-

ronment.

Use the same version of firmware or printer

driver.

Specify the same value for all settings items.

Execute color calibration.
