The color is not exactly the same as another printer.The print is not positioned properly on the paper.oColors 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.
See “Color Management Printing” on page 135.
To match the color precisely, use the color measurement device to perform color management.
oHave you specified the print area?
Check the print area in the settings of the application and the printer.
oIs the correct option selected for Paper Size?
If the option selected for Paper Size in the printer driver does not match the paper loaded in the
printer, the print may not be in the correct position or some of the data may be printed off the
paper. In this case, check the print settings.
oIs the paper skewed?
If Off is selected for Media Skew Check in the Setup menu, printing will continue even if the paper
is skewed, resulting in data being printed off the paper. Select On for Media Skew Check in the
Setup menu.
See “Setup menu” on page 175.
oDoes the print data fit within the paper width?
Although under normal circumstances printing stops if the print image is wider than the paper,
the printer may print outside the bounds of the paper when Off is selected for Paper Size Check
in the Setup menu. Select On for Paper Size Check in the Setup menu.
See “Setup menu” on page 175.
oIs the roll paper margin set to 15 mm or 35 mm?
If the value selected for Roll Paper Margin in the Setup menu is wider than the margins selected
in the application, priority will be given to the value selected for Roll Paper Margin. For example,
if 15 mm is selected for the left and right margins in the printer Setup menu and the document fills
the page, the 15 mm at the left and right sides of the page will not be printed.
