Print Head Moves But Nothing Prints

If the print head is moving and nothing prints, try these solutions:

• Print a nozzle check pattern. If the pattern does not print correctly, clean the print head again. (If the

printer has not been used for a long time the nozzles may be clogged.)

• If you see the message

Motor Self Adjustment

on the product's LCD screen, the printer is adjusting

its internal motor. Wait a few moments for the message to disappear and do not turn off the printer.

Media is Creased

If media loaded in your printer is creased, try these solutions:

• Check that the

Feeding Tension

and

Feed Speed

settings on the product control panel are correct

for the currently loaded media.

• If you printed thin media or media lengthened by water absorption at a high density take-up setting,

creases that look like this may appear in the media in the after heater:

Set the

Take-up Tension

setting to

Manual

and decrease the tension values, or print on thicker

media.
