Print contains only partial image
Check the settings of the Margins option. When Margins are set to Normal (the default), the print area is smaller
than when Margins are set to Expanded. Try setting the Margins option to Expanded to make the print area
larger.
The printer may not have correctly sized your media. Use the Manual Load option to load your media. (See the
Quick Start Guide.)
The printer automatically prints in portrait orientation (X axis = paper axis). If you rotated the image in your
application to save paper, set the paper size to the next larger size (for example, if you are printing a C size image,
choose D size paper). Be sure to set Save Media to ON. This stops the printer from scrolling the full paper
height.

Splotchy area fill
