Theta￿Z Error

Errors numbered 3a and 3b are called Theta7Z errors. They appear when the rows of nozzles on a cartridge are not perpendicular to the carriage axis (Y7axis).

This error can occur for various reasons, including:

DBadly seated cartridge.

DFaulty cartridge.

DFaulty carriage.

Ink Smearing

Symptoms

Ink smears on the media. (See also ' User's Guide, chapter 4.)

Product Fault

The media touches the print heads. This can occur because:

DThe media7holding mechanism is not holding the media correctly, and the media buckles.

DThe carriage7to7roller distance is too small. (Adjustment ' chapter 7.)

Hue Changes

Symptoms

Changes of hue are noticed when printing in color.

Cartridge Fault

One or more of the print cartridges is running out of ink. (Typically the inks of the four cartridges are used at different rates.)

Solution

Replace the print cartridge with a new one.

Starwheel Marks

On some drawings (for example, CAD drawings having a thick7lined frame around them) on some types of media, you may notice some small marks made by the starwheels. These cannot be avoided.
