Chapter 6 What to Do If...
Media feed is not smooth (slippage occurs)
Is thick media being used?
If the surface of the media rubs against the printing heads and smooth feed is impossible, then adjust the height of the
printing heads (see "2-2 Loading Media -- When Loading Thick Media").
When the height of the printing head has been adjusted, it is necessary to perform bidirectional correction (only when
performing bidirectional printing). For more information about bidirectional correction, see "3-6 Making Corrections
for Printing -- Bidirectional Correction."
If using sheet media, does the loaded media contact areas such as the stand's media flange?
If the sheet media contacts the media flange or the like at the back of the unit, shift the retainer to a location where the
media doesn't make contact.
If the media touches an obstruction while printing is in progress, normal media feed is not performed, and image quality
may suffer or the media may jam.
Is the sheet media loaded at an angle? Are the left and right edges of the media not straight?
If the media is loaded at an angle or if the left and right sides of the media are not cut straight, the location of the edges
may shift as feed is carried out. This may cause the media to rub against the inner side of this machine or be displaced
from the printing area.
Is the roll media loaded correctly?
If the roll media is not loaded correctly, the media may come loose or advance at an angle. Refer to "2-2 Loading Media
-- Loading Roll Media" and load the media correctly.
