Perform the following sequence until the print results have improved.
1. Cut sections of media with wrinkles or waviness.
If media is stored inappropriately or left loaded in the printer, wrinkles and waviness
may occur. If media is used in this state, the print head and the raised surface of the
media may contact and cause staining. Cut sections with wrinkles or waviness before
using media.
Furthermore, store media as described in the manual accompanying the printer and
load media in the printer just before printing.
If the problem is not resolved even when printing on sections without wrinkles or
waviness, perform the following measure.
2. Load the media in the printer correctly and configuring the media settings appropriately
If the media loading method, heating temperature, tension, suction and other settings
are inappropriate, wrinkles and waviness occur on the media. Make sure the loading
method and settings are correct. See “Loading and Exchanging Media” on page 30.
If the measures above do not resolve the problem, perform the following measure.
3. Check that the media is loaded correctly in the auto take-up reel unit
If the method to attach the media to the take up roll core is inappropriate, media may
move around during take-up, which may cause wrinkles and raised sections.
Make sure media is being loaded on the auto take-up reel unit correctly. “Using the Auto
Take-up Reel Unit” on page 48.
Media Problems
Media is creased
o
Are the Feeding Tension and Feed Speed options in the setup menu correct for the current media?
If these options are not correctly adjusted for the current media, the media may be creased or torn during printing.
See
“Feeding Tension” on page 70 and
“Feed Speed” on page 72.
o
Is the after heater temperature too high?
Adjust the after heater temperature to suit the media.
