command. If the problem occurs with a specific file or
application, check the printer settings for that
application.
Check the interface cable. Connect both ends of the interface cable securely.
Try replacing the printer cable. Refer to the
Installation Guide for more information.
Vapor is emitted at the
rear of the printer. Check if the temperature is low near
the location of the printer, or if the
paper that is being used has been
exposed to humidity.
Depending on the operating environment of the
printer and the condition of the paper, heat
generated during printing can evaporate water
moisture in the printed paper, emitting vapor from the
printer. In this case, printing can be continued
without any problem.
To correct this, increase the temperature in the room,
and use paper that has been stored in a dry place.
