The media is curled or wrinkled.
Cause
Solution
l
Outside the operating
temperature/humidity range
(1) Use the Printer within the operating temperature/humidity range.
* Note that some media may be wrinkled even within the operating temperature and
humidity range.
(2) Use the proven media.
l
The media storage conditions
are not the same as the printer
operation conditions.
The difference between the media storage conditions and the printer operation
conditions may cause the media curled or wrinkled. To prevent it, when carrying
the media in storage to the operation area, before printing leave the media for a
proper time.
*The time depends on the media type and the storage conditions.
l
The media was poorly installed.
Check that the media was installed properly with the conditions below.
- The installed media is properly parallel to the Printer and the flange.
- The operation panel shows the media type correctly.
- The supply-side tension bar length is proper and it is placed on the center of the
media.
- The media winding mode is optimal to the installed media.
l
The heater temperature wrinkled
the media.
(1) If the media is wrinkled while the Printer is warmed by the heaters, install the
media only after the Printer is warmed up by the heaters.
(2) Change the heater temperature. Increase or decrease the all three heaters by
5°C.

(3) Use the proven media.
l
The media is curled.
(1) Do not use the media curled in the x direction, that is, the vertical direction of
the media.
(2) Do not use the media curled in the y direction, that is, on the right and left
edges of the media. The curl is so excessive that the media edge guards and the
suction fan cannot flat the media
(3) Use the proven media.

When the heaters temperature is changed, again adjust the media advance compensation.
