Ricoh Ri 100, Operating Instructions Manual

Page: 221 / 260

Do you perform regular maintenance?
If the Maintenance Unit and print head nozzles are not cleaned regularly, normal printing results may
not be achieved.
If the message prompting you to provide regular maintenance appears, clean both the Maintenance
Unit and print head. Even if the message does not appear, performing regular maintenance may resolve
image quality problems.
See page 133 "Clean Maint Unit", page 136 "Auto Head Maint.".
Have you changed the settings in the printer driver?
When you change the setting for [Select Print Quality:] or [Garment Type:] in the printer driver, you
might need to adjust the height of the cassette on the machine.
See page 104 "Printing", page 211 "Adjusting the height of the cassette manually".
Have you adjusted the height of the cassette?
Usually the machine adjusts the height of the cassette automatically. If the printed image is blurry or
dusty, adjust the height of the cassette manually. Printed images may be blurry, especially, when you
load a T-shirt and set [Select Print Quality:] to [Vivid] in the printer driver. If this is the case, adjust the
height of the cassette.
See page 211 "Adjusting the height of the cassette manually".
Colors Do Not Match the Displayed Image
If there are differences between colors of the print results and the displayed image, refer to the following
questions:
Has the hue of colors been adjusted?
Since printed colors and screen colors are produced by different methods, a color printed and a color
displayed on a screen can have different hues even though they are the "same" color. Use the color
matching function to make the hue of printed colors and displayed colors closer.
For details about the color matching function, see the printer driver Help.
Has the nozzle check been performed?
The print heads may be clogged and the amount of ink may not be able to be regulated. Print the nozzle
check test pattern and clean the print heads as necessary.
See page 120 "Nozzle Check", page 121 "Head-cleaning".
Was printing done in black and white?
Check the color setting of the application and the color print setting of the printer driver.
Have the print quality settings been made?
In the [Select Print Quality:], select [Fine], [Speed], or [Vivid] (only for thin fabrics).
