Troubleshooting
Use the following measures to solve problems you
experience with your printer. If the problem persists,
contact your dealer for information on what to do next.
The printer prints the image split into pieces.
• The resolution of the image is incorrectly set or the
size of the image is too large.
Edit the image within 306 dpi and 1376 x 1024
pixels or 153 dpi and 688 x 512 pixels.
The edges of the printed image are jagged.
• The image may be stretched as it is being printed.
Edit the image within 306 dpi and 1376 x 1024
pixels or 153 dpi and 688 x 512 pixels.

• As the digital color printer prints in 153 dpi, the
printed characters may look jagged depending on
the size.
Print using an application which can apply anti-
aliasing to characters.
The printer does not start printing.
• No print paper, no ink ribbon, or paper jam can be
the cause.
Check the indicators on the printer's front panel
and eliminate the cause by inserting print paper,
etc. Refer to the printer's operating instructions.
Make sure that the correct ink ribbon cartridge is
loaded for the print paper.
• It may take a long time to set up the data for printing
depending on the computer or application software.

NOTE
Unplug the power cord from the power outlet before cleaning the
printer.
Accidentally touching a non-user-serviceable part may cause electric
shock.
Unplug the printer if it is not used for an extended period of time,
for example while you are on a long trip.
Otherwise, deteriorated insulation or leakage current may cause fire or
electric shock.
Beware of moisture condensation.
Moisture condensation means that water vapor in the air becomes
liquid and sticks to the printer surface. This phenomenon is caused by
the following.
• Rapidly heating the room in which the printer is placed
• Cool air (from an air conditioner, etc.) blown directly to the printer
• Moving the printer from a cold place to a warm place
Moisture in the air will condense on the paper, deteriorating print
quality or causing paper jams.
Under conditions where moisture condensation has occurred or may
occur, keep the printer turned on and wait until there is no possibility
that condensation will occur.
Do not spray volatile solvent on the printer or allow the printer to
be in contact with rubber or plastic products for an extended
period of time.
For example, spraying an insecticide on the printer or wiping it with
thinner or benzine may deteriorate or discolor the printer cabinet.
Such deterioration and discoloring also occurs if the printer is in
contact with rubber or plastic products for an extended period of time.
