Print-quality issues Colors are fading If you print on instant-dry photo paper, your prints will fade rapidly. If you plan to display the prints for more than two weeks, you should laminate them to achieve longer life. Prints on swellable coated papers will fade much less rapidly. However, lamination will increase the life of prints (depending on the type of lamination) with all paper types. For more information, consult your laminate provider. The image is incomplete (clipped at the bottom) ● Did you press Cancel before all the data were received by the printer? If so, you have ended the data transmission and will have to print the page again. ● The I/O timeout setting may be too short. This setting determines how long the printer waits for the computer to send more data, before deciding that the job is finished. From the front panel, increase the I/O timeout setting to a longer period and then send the print again. From the Connectivity menu , select Advanced > Select I/O timeout. ● There may be a communications problem between your computer and the printer. Check your USB or network cable. ● Check to make sure that your software settings are correct for your current page size (for example, long-axis prints). ● If you are using network software, make sure it has not timed out. The image is clipped Clipping normally indicates a discrepancy between the actual printable area on the loaded paper and the printable area as understood by your software. ● Check the actual printable area for the paper size you have loaded. printable area = paper size - margins ● Check what your software understands to be the printable area (which it may call "printing area" or "imageable area"). For example, some software applications assume standard printable areas that are larger than those used in this printer. ● If you have defined a custom page size with very narrow margins, the printer may impose its own minimal margins, clipping your image slightly. You may want to consider using a larger paper size, or borderless printing (see Select margins options on page 49). ● If your image contains its own margins, you may be able to print it successfully by using the Clip Contents by Margins option (see Select margins options on page 49). ● If you are trying to print a very long image on a roll, check that your software is capable of printing an image of that size. ● You may have asked to rotate the page from portrait to landscape on a paper size that is not wide enough. ● If necessary, reduce the size of the image or document in your software application, so it fits between the margins. There is another possible explanation for a clipped image. Some applications, such as Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, and CorelDRAW, use an internal 16-bit coordinate system which means that they cannot handle an image of more than 32,768 pixels. If you try to print an image larger than this ENWW Colors are fading 135
