If you can adjust the image size on your application software, make the resolution within 306 dpi and size 1376 x 1024 pixels or 153 dpi and size 688 x 512 pixels. If you print an image larger than the above, the image may be printed split into pieces depending on the application software.

  • 1376 x 1024 pixels in 306 dpi
  See the application's manual for setting the image size.

Notes

• Since the length and breadth ratio of the image does not match that of the paper, the image of the 2-split or 4-split printing is partly cut off.
• The 16-split images printed on the 16-cut sticker are partly cut off because the cut size of the sticker is smaller than the printed size. The 4-split images printed on the 4-cut sticker are also cut off.
• The 16-split and 4-split images are adjusted and printed to the size of sticker print paper.
• You cannot preview the printed image.

Troubleshooting

Use the following measures to solve problems you experience with your printer. If the problem persists, contact your dealer for information on what to do next.

The printer prints the image split into pieces.

- The resolution of the image is incorrectly set or the size of the image is too large.

→ Edit the image within 306 dpi and 1376 x 1024 pixels or 153 dpi and 688 x 512 pixels.

The edges of the printed image are jagged.

• The image may be stretched as it is being printed.

→ Edit the image within 306 dpi and 1376 x 1024 pixels or 153 dpi and 688 x 512 pixels.

The edges of the printed characters are jagged.

- As the digital color printer prints in 153 dpi, the printed characters may look jagged depending on the size.

→ Print using an application which can apply anti-aliasing to characters.

The printer does not start printing.

- No print paper, no ink ribbon, or paper jam can be the cause.

→ Check the indicators on the printer's front panel and eliminate the cause by inserting print paper, etc. Refer to the printer's operating instructions.

→ Make sure that the correct ink ribbon cartridge is loaded for the print paper.

- It may take a long time to set up the data for printing depending on the computer or application software. It may also take long time when you set to print many copies.

→ Wait until the computer completes the processing.

• The printer may be malfunctioning.

→ Check the indicators of the printer or the error messages of the computer.

→ If printer does not start printing in 5 minutes after print paper is installed when there is nothing wrong with the printer or computer, turn off the printer and turn it on again. Then try printing again. It may take more than 5 minutes when you set to print many copies.

• The hard disk space is not enough.

→ Check the hard disk. If there is not enough space, increase the space enough for the driver software.

- In the [Spool Settings] window, [Enable bidirectional support for this printer] is selected (for Windows 95/98).

→ Select [Disable bi-directional support for this printer]. In this setting, the print monitor is not displayed and the high speed print mode is disabled.
