Smudges Appear on Printouts
A possible cause may be that appropriate paper is not used or there is a problem with the operating environment. Check the following.
Are you using appropriate paper?
Check usable paper, and replace with appropriate paper.
Do smudges appear on printouts when you use the machine in an environment with low humidity?
NOTE
If you select <On> and use the machine in an environment with high humidity, the print density may become lighter or uneven.
If the problem persists with <Sp. Transfer Mode> specified, change the setting of <Sp. Transfer Mode 2>. Setting to <On> may solve the problem.
NOTE
If you select <On> and use the machine in an environment with high humidity, the print density may become lighter or uneven.
Do streaks appear on printouts depending on the paper type or the operating environment?
Change the setting for <Special Print Mode A>. The improvement effect is weakest with <Mode 1> and strongest with <Mode 4>. Try the adjustment starting with <Mode 1>.
NOTE
Print density will be lighter when you select stronger improvement. It may also result in less sharp edges and rougher details.
If you set this item to <Mode 3> or <Mode 4>, the printing speed becomes slower.
If [Barcode Adjustment Mode] in the printer driver is specified, the <Special Print Mode A> setting is disabled.
Is the machine installed in an environment where the temperature changes rapidly and drastically?
When the temperature changes rapidly in the environment where the machine is installed, condensation occurs, which may cause fading or bleeding in images and text. If <Control Condensation> is set to <On>, condensation inside the machine will be removed. Condensation removal may be performed automatically due to temperature change.
IMPORTANT
While condensation removal is being performed, printing may not be performed properly and blank paper may be output.
If you set to <On>, you need to keep the machine turned ON to maintain the effect of condensation removal.
