Caution:
Never replace the print head yourself; you may damage the printer.

replaced.

Cause
A line feed command is not
being sent at the end of each
line of text.
The printout has extra blank lines between lines of text.

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.

your application software is
incorrect.
What to do
Stop printing and contact your dealer
to have the print head replaced.
What to do
Turn on the auto line feed setting
using the printer's default-setting
mode so that the printer
automatically adds a line feed code to
each carriage return. See "About Your
Printer's Default Settings" on
page 3-4.
What to do
