    Cause and Solution

    The protective film is remaining
    Make sure all of the protective film is peeled off and the air hole is exposed, as illustrated in (A). If the orange tape is left as in (B), pull the orange tape and remove it.

    The media is loaded with the wrong side facing upwards
    Many types of paper are made to be printed on only a particular side of the paper.
    Printing on the wrong side may cause unclear prints or prints with reduced quality.
    Refer to the instruction manual supplied with the paper for detailed information on the printable side.

    Print Head is misaligned
    If you did not align the Print Head after installation, straight lines may be printed misaligned. Make sure to align the Print Head after you install it.
    See [Aligning the Print Head] and perform Print Head Alignment.
