Chapter 4 More Sophisticated Fault Isolation Tasks
3-31
Cause Point to check Action
C1 to C7 Check images. Flow 1
C3
Check that the paper settings are valid (an invalid paper setting result in an ink
overflow).
Explain.
C2, C6
Check to see if any error has been indicated by running Nozzle Check Print in
User mode.
T03 (P4-3)
Others
Check the firmware version (the environmental sensor settings are varied upon
recovery from sleep mode).
Upgrade.
C5
Application-dependent?
Flow 2
C3 Paper, such as tracing paper or films, may be difficult to dry. Explain.
C7
Correct adjustments may not have been achieved due to particular
environmental conditions during head adjustment work.
T15 (P4-20)
C7
The carriage inclination adjustment lever is not set at the correct position (iPF700
Series).
T15 (P4-20)
Others
If this failure has occurred concurrently with a phenomenon of too slow printing,
there may be a data error in Media Configuration Tool (MCT). Update MCT.

17. Imaging Failures
③
Blurred, ghost, spread, shaken or
undersharp images
C1 Carriage operation (belt tension)
C2 Electrical (carriage encoder, flexible cable)
C3 Paper (paper settings, paper difficult to dry, invalid paper information, rubbing, loose paper)
C5 Resolution (data interpretation, applications, RIP, driver setting)
C6 Printhead
C7
Adjustment system (head height, head adjustment, inclination adjustment, suction)
Failure causes
Normal image
Vertical line
Horizontal line
Paper feed direction varied
from path to path
Is paper ejected properly? Remove the cause of the failure
Increase suction force
Clean the platen
Replace the suction fan
No
Yes
Paper elevated while printing
Print start position varied from
path to path Is the carriage belt tension
normal?
Damaged idle pulley
Yes
No
Replace the carriage belt (unit)
Replace
T01
Flow 1
Faulty carriage encoder
