Cause
Solution and Reference

are not needed to be opened for the
paper, are open.
Air flow from the outside shutters adversely affect the printing operation and
may cause blurred print.
Set the shutters on the platen according to the instructions on the label
attached to the printer.

starting printing.
The trailing edge of the paper is
approaching.
When the trailing edge of the paper approaches, print position may be laterally
shifted, or blurred print may occur.
Replace the paper with a new one.

The paper width and the shutters on the

paper may cause the paper and print head to rub against each other, leading to
the paper becoming dirty. Set the shutters on the platen according to the
instructions on the label attached to the printer.
