About printing errors
If blurring or color shifts occur in your print results,
clean all rollers starting with the cleaning rollers.
Some image errors may depend on the design of the
card to print.
In particular, wrinkles can easily occur if large surfaces
are printed with high density ink.
To avoid such problems, contact the dealer where the
printer was purchased concerning card designs.

CAUTION
Caution when printing characters
When printing small characters or thin lines in black
ink, the thickness of minimum 2 dots necessary for
“Standard” mode.
Printing small characters or thin lines by 1 dot tends to
cause blurring.
To avoid this tendency, following settings are
recommended. See “Ink mode setting” on Page 29.
1. Set the black value K:
Try to increase setting value to more than 0 (Standard)
Then darker printing is possible.
2. Set the K printing mode:
Change mode from “Standard” to “Fine”.
Then thicker printing is possible.
If blurring still appears after having tried the above
setting , selecting more adequate character font is
recommended.
When retransfer operation is not complete
Depending on the cards used, retransfer operation
may not be complete. In that case, try the following
items. (See Page 30,“Retransfer mode setting”)
1. Try to increase the retransfer temperature.
2. Try to decrease the retransfer speed. For the reverse
side of the card, try to decrease the reverse retransfer
speed.
3. Dust on the card surface. Use clean cards with no
dust. Use the attached gloves to avoid fingermark on
cards.
4. Ambient temperature
Retransfer operation may not be complete if the
temperature of card surface is very low such as the
card first printed in the cold morning. In that case, wait
until the room becomes warm enough.
