Print Quality Problems
Cause 4
Data was sent before completing calibration, such as when the printer was first
turned ON.
Remedy
Make sure that calibration is completed before sending data to the printer.
NOTE
•
When you select [Print Priority] from [Action for Calibration Request] in [Calibration
Settings] in [Device Settings] in the [Options] menu in the Printer Status Window,
and there is any job to be printed, the printing is prioritized even if calibration needs
to be performed. Calibration is performed after the print job finishes. (See
"Specifying Whether Calibration Should Be Prioritized," on p. 6-20)
•
If you want to perform calibration manually, see "Performing Calibration Manually,"
on p. 6-16.
The colors of thin lines or filled-in patterns are different from the specified colors, or do not
appear at all.
Cause 1
Some colors cannot be reproduced due to the combination of colors or
patterns.
Remedy 1 Adjust the colors in the application and print again.
Remedy 2 Change the patterns in the application and print again.
Cause 2
The color may appear different depending on the fill-pattern.
Remedy
Readjust to a darker color and print again.
Fill-patterns are not printed in the correct color (specified color).
Cause
The fill-pattern of the print data and the dither pattern of the printer are
interfering with one another.
Remedy 1 Print again without specifying a fill-pattern in the application.
Remedy 2 Set [Color Halftones] or [B & W Halftones] to [Gradation] or [Color Tone] in the
printer driver.
In order to specify the setting for [Color Halftones] or [B & W Halftones], display
the [Custom Settings] dialog box by clicking [Settings] in the [Quality] sheet .
