The color is not exactly the same as
another printer.
o
Colors vary depending on the printer type
due to each printer's characteristics.
Because inks, printer drivers, and printer profiles are
developed for each printer model, the colors
printed by different printer models are not exactly
the same.
You can achieve similar colors with the same color
adjustment method or the same gamma setting by
using the printer driver.
U “Correct color and print” on page 74
The print is not positioned properly
on the media.
o
Have you specified the print area?
Check the print area in the settings of the
application and the printer.
o
Is the Document Size setting correct?
If the option selected for Document Size in the
print driver or Paper Size driver does not match the
paper loaded in the printer, the print may not be in
the correct position or some of the data may not be
printed. In this case, check the print settings.
o
Is the paper skewed?
If Off is selected for Detect Paper Meandering in
the Printer Settings menu, printing will continue
even if the paper is skewed, resulting in printing
outside of the print area. In the Printer Settings
menu, set Detect Paper Meandering to On.
U “General Settings - Printer Settings” on
page 142
o
Is the roll paper margin set wide?
If margins narrower than the margins set in the roll
paper Advanced Media Setting - Top/ Bottom
Margins menu are set in the application software,
then priority is given to the printer settings.

Lengths differ between the print
results and print data
If you want to print to roll paper with lengths exactly
as specified in the print data, such as when printing
CAD drawings, make the following adjustments. You
will need a ruler so get one ready before performing
this work.
The length of the paper used for adjustment pattern
printing is approximately 555 mm.
A
Touch the Roll paper information area - Media
Adjust from the Home screen.
B
Touch Paper Feed Adjust - Print length
adjustment - Start.
The adjustment patterns are printed.
C
Measure the distance between the "+" symbols
on the printed patterns with a ruler.
D
Enter the measured length in the screen.
E
Touch OK.
When Print head alignment complete... appears, the
procedure is finished.
The adjustment results are saved as settings of the
currently selected paper type.
Vertical ruled lines are misaligned.
o
Has Print Head Alignment been carried out?
Confirm that paper type settings that match the
paper are selected, and perform Print Head
Alignment.
