Symptom What to do
The color is not exactly the same as
another printer.
Colors vary depending on the printer type due to each printer's characteristics.
Because inks, printer drivers, and printer profiles are developed for each printer model,
the colors printed by different printer models are not exactly the same.
You can achieve similar colors with the same color adjustment method or the same
gamma setting by using the printer driver.
U “Color Management Printing” on page 92
To match the color precisely, use the color measurement device to perform color
management.
The print is not positioned properly
on the paper.
Have you specified the print area?
Check the print area in the settings of the application and the printer.
Is the paper size setting correct?
If the Paper Size setting in the printer driver and the size of the loaded paper do not
match, the print may not be where you want it, or part of it may be cut off. In this case,
check the print settings.
Is the paper skewed?
If Paper Skew Check is set to Off in the Menu, even if it is skewed, the printer exceeds the
print area when printing on the paper. Set Paper Skew Check to On in the Menu.

Does the print data fit within the paper width?
If the print image is larger than the paper width, printing normally stops. However, if
Paper Size Check is set to Off in the Menu, the printer prints on the paper exceeding the
paper width. Set Paper Size Check to On in the Menu.

Is the roll paper margin set to 15 mm or 35 mm?
If the value set for Roll Paper Margin in the Menu is larger than the margin settings in the
application you are using, the Roll Paper Margin setting is given priority. For example,
when left and right margins of 15 mm are set in the Menu, 15 mm on the left and right sides
of the page of any data created at the full width of the page in the application are not
printed.

Vertical ruled lines are misaligned.
Is the print head misaligned? (in bidirectional printing)
With bidirectional printing, the print head prints while moving left and right. If the print
head is misaligned, ruled lines may be misaligned accordingly. If vertical ruled lines are
misaligned with bidirectional printing, perform Head Alignment.
