SC-F9300 Series User's Guide
Have you compared the printing result with
o
the image on the display monitor?
Since monitors and printers produce colors
differently, printed colors will not always match
on-screen colors perfectly.
Was a printer cover opened during printing?
o
Opening covers during printing causes the print
head to stop abruptly, resulting in uneven colors.
Do not open the covers while printing is in progress.
The print is not positioned properly
on the media.
Is the media loaded correctly and are the
o
margins correct?
If the media is not loaded correctly, the results may
be off center or part of the data may not be printed.
You should also check whether the correct options
are selected for Side Margin and Print Start
Position in the setup menu.

Is the media wavy?
o
Certain types of media may develop waves under
some conditions (humidity and temperature) while

press the d button in the control panel to feed the
media and avoid the affected area. We recommend
that you lower the temperature and humidity to
prevent waves developing.
Is the print head misaligned?
o
If the print head is misaligned, ruled lines may be
misaligned accordingly. In this case, select Media
Adjust - Head Alignment in the media settings to
adjust a print head misalignment that occurs during
