<Anticipated trouble and its solution> 
i. 

Even when the paper size is correct (A4 / LTR), and the print pattern is properly printed, the automatic 
print head alignment failure error occurs. 

 

Solution:  In Custom Settings of the printer driver’s Maintenance tab, enable Align heads manually, 

and perform the manual print head alignment. 

 

By attaching the CD-R tray and tray feeder, printing on a 12 or 8 cm printable CD-R / DVD-R can be 
performed, through front loading. 
 
<Reference> 
For CD-R printing, the following detection functions are provided: 
- Presence of the CD-R tray feeder (by the switch sensor inside the platen unit) 
- CD-R tray position and presence of CD-R (by the CD-R sensor inside the carriage unit) 
 
For errors and their solutions relating to CD-R printing, see 2.1. Operator Call Errors. 
 
Note:  When the CD-R tray feeder is attached, the carriage does not move to the center when the front 

cover is opened. Before replacing an ink tank or the print head, remove the CD-R tray feeder. 

 

According to paper type settings in the printer driver, the distance between the paper and the print head will 
be automatically adjusted. To change the distance between the paper and the print head, the mechanism to 
lift the carriage up and down using the ASF motor has been provided. (According to rotation direction of 
the ASF motor, driving is switched between paper feeding and carriage lifting.) 
 
<Anticipated trouble and its solution> 
i. 

Paper’s print side is soiled. 

 

Solution:  In Custom Settings of the printer driver’s Maintenance tab, enable Prevent paper abrasion 

(if contact to the print head occurs with paper other than thick paper, such as envelopes 
and T-shirt transfers).
