Lines of dots are missing in the printout.
Cause | What to do |
|
|
The print head is damaged. | Print the current settings in the default |
| settings mode and check the pin |
| condition. See “Changing default |
| settings” on page 94 to see how to print |
| them. |
| If only one pin is broken, other pins can |
| compensate for it. See “Broken pin |
| compensation” on page 85 for details. |
| If more than two pins are broken, stop |
| printing and contact your dealer to have |
| the print head replaced. |
cCaution:
Never replace the print head yourself; you may damage the printer. Also, other parts of the printer must be checked when the print head is replaced.
All the text is printed on the same line.
Cause | What to do |
|
|
No line feed command is sent at the end of each line of text.
Set the Auto line feed setting to On in the default settings mode so that the printer automatically adds a line feed code to each carriage return. See “Changing default settings” on page 94.
The printout has extra blank lines between lines of text.
Cause | What to do |
|
|
Two line feed commands are being sent at the end of each line of text, because the printer’s auto line feed setting is on.
Set the Auto line feed setting to Off in the default settings mode. See “Changing default settings” on page 94.
