Troubleshooting

Unit Level Troubleshooting

Operation

Vertical banding appears against the CR
movement direction. And, it looks like
uneven printing.

Front frame

1. Check if the grease is enough on the surface of the

Front frame.

2. Check if the surface of the Front frame is flat.

1. Clean the surface of the Front frame with the

dry soft cloth and lubricate G-58 on its shaft.
Refer to Figure 6-6/Figure 6-7.

2. Replace the Front frame with new one.

Printhead

1. Check if each segment is printed correctly in the nozzle

check pattern.

1. Perform the printhead cleaning and check the

nozzle check pattern.
If the problem is not solved, replace the
printhead with new one.

Micro banding appears horizontally
against the CR movement direction and
it appears with the same width.

[Note]
If the problem is not solved, replace the
PF motor with new one.

PF roller unit

1. Check if there is any foreign material on the surface of the

PF roller.

2. Check if the PF roller is damaged

3. Check if the Spur gear 60 is damaged.

1. Clean the surface of the PF roller carefully

with the soft cloth.

2. Replace the Printer mechanism with new one.

3. Replace the Printer mechanism with new one.

Printer driver &

exclusive paper

1. Check if the suitable paper is used according to the printer

driver setting.

1. Use the suitable paper according to the printer

driver setting.

Printhead

1. Check if each segment is printed correctly in the nozzle

check pattern.

1. Perform the printhead cleaning and check the

nozzle check pattern.
If the problem is not solved, replace the
printhead with new one.

Star wheel mark against the CR
movement direction

Front frame

1. Check if the Star wheel comes off.

2. Check if the surface of the Front frame is flat.

1. Reassemble the Star wheel correctly.

2. Replace the Front frame with new one.

Paper eject roller

unit

1. Check if the Paper eject roller comes off from the Lower

housing.

1. Reassemble the Paper eject roller correctly.
