Trouble Print results look different from what was expected Print results are blurry Left and right sides of the print result are blurry. The print result is misaligned laterally. Description Recovery method If you have moved the printer after the initial ink charge, specified colors may not be produced (colors may be mixed) due to vibration or impacts. Perform manual head cleaning until there are no more mixed colors. Hold down the cleaning button for more than three seconds to start head cleaning. Print results may be blurry depending on the thickness of the paper being used. Adjust the misalignment of bidirectional printing. On the [Printer Utilities] tab, select [Printer Setting Utility]. When the PrinterSetting screen is displayed, click [Printer Adjustment] - [Print Head Alignment] - [Bi-directional Printing Adjustment]. See "Print Head Alignment" on page 137. The shutters on the platen on the outer side of the paper are set to open. When the shutters on the platen on the outer side of the paper are set to open, air current may cause printing trouble; outer edges of the print result may become blurry. Follow the instructions on the label on the top of the printer, and set the shutters on the platen. See "Shutter Adjustment" on page 40. Paper is not loaded in the center. If the paper is loaded out of the central position, print results may be misaligned laterally right after the media is loaded. Use the media guide to load the paper in the central position, or feed the paper first and then start printing. Image/ Illustra- tion No. 4 - No. 5 - 142
