7. Troubleshooting

7-2-4. Changing the Print Direction

When there are large gaps between the Print Heads and printed medium, or when printing on very high absorbent material, horizontal stripes can appear on the printed image. You can solve this problem using one-way "Uni-Directional " print. If you adjust to a larger gap then we recommend this mode is used. Keep the gap by about 2-3 mm between the Obstruction Sensor and a T-shirt.

If you already know that a print data will be printed in uni-directional printing before you print, you can set with the Printer Driver. This setting is available when the printer’s setting is [ Auto ]. See “4-3. Setting the Printer Driver Condition” and “4-3-8. Setting Print Direction as Uni-Directional”.

(1)Press the OK Button to display the Menu Display.

(2)Press the Up/Down Button to select “Print Direction”, and then press the OK Button. Select “Always Uni-”. This setting is always available until you change the setting.

<Note>

Uni-Direction Icon indicates on the Display of the Control Panel.

The default setting is "Auto", which follows the Printer Driver setting. (Check-OFF Uni-Directional Printing)

The printer setting is prior to the Printer Driver setting. Even if the checkbox "Uni-Directional Printing" is checked, when the printer setting is " Always Bi-" then the print is Bi-Directional. Unlike GT-541, even the new print data is received, the printer setting does not change.

7-2-5. Changing the Auto Head Cleaning Setting

Your printer automatically cleans its Print Heads every 24 prints. However more frequent Print Heads cleaning needs to be done depending on the environment. In this case, change the Auto Head Cleaning frequency as follows.

<Note>

This setting is available with Color / White separately.

(1)Press the OK Button to open the Menu Display.

(2)Press the Up/Down Button to select “Maintenance”, and then press the OK Button.

(3)Press the Up/Down Button to select “Auto Cleaning”, and then press the OK Button. The following display appears.

(4)Press the Up/Down Button to select the frequency from 1 to 24, and then press the OK Button. The Auto Head Cleaning will be executed at every number of prints you have set.

<Note>

Cleaning the Print Heads frequently may hasten the Wiper Cleaner consumption.
