When Encountering a Problem
When encountering a problem, refer to the following sections for possible solutions .
No power
Symptom/Possible Problem
Connection state of power cable
Power supply to the outlet
ON/OFF state of power switch
Resolution
Connect correctly the power cable to the outlet.
Supply the power to the outlet.
Confirm that the power voltage is correct.
Turn on the power switch.
( P.2-3 [Power ON/OFF Procedure] )
The paper guide does not heat after the heater is turned on.
Symptom/Possible Problem
Printer status
Computer RIP setting
Heater control menu
Resolution
The paper guide is heated during printing or when the heater is turned on with the heater control menu. Print an image or set the heater to ON to see if the paper guide is heated. ( P.2-41 [Changing temperature using the heater control menu] )
The heater temperature can also be set by the RIP of the computer. Check the computer setting.
Turn on the heater (front heater/print heater/rear heater) again, and then print an image or forcibly set the heater to ON to see if the paper guide is heated.
The printer does not start up or operate.
Symptom/Possible Problem
Error LED ON and the message displayed on the LCD
Resolution
Take action directed by the error message.
( P.5-7 [When the error message is displayed] )
No printing
Symptom/Possible Problem
Interface cable not connected correctly
Error LED ON and the message displayed on LCD
Error lamp OFF
Clean the Print head
Resolution

Although the printer is in the print mode, printing does not start with
"PH WARMING UP" displayed on the operation panel.
Symptom/Possible Problem
Room temperature
Resolution
Raise the room temperature. (Recommended temperature: 20 to 25ºC)
Head warming-up is conducted when the room temperature (temperature inside the printer) is low. Recommended room temperature is 20 to 25˚C.
- When the low room temperature is raised to 20 to 25˚C, it takes time before the temperature inside the printer increases. Idle the printer for more than 1 hour before restarting printing.
When the cancel key is pressed “PH warming-up”, head warming-up is terminated to start printing. (By turning off the head warm mode, head warming-up is automatically canceled.).
- When head warming-up is canceled, the carriage stops at the certain number of scan. (If the number other than 0 is preset as PH REST PERIOD in MEDIA REG MENU, the value preset in PH REST PERIOD and PH REST TIME is used.)
- Head warming-up is a function for stable printing. Do not cancel head warming-up as much as possible.

Suggestions for media advance value
The changes mentioned below can cause media advance value to vary.
Condition
¢ Variation of media condition
Depending on (1) type of media, width and roll length and (2) change of roll diameter as used, the appropriate media advance value varies.
¢ When changing the takeup mode of the winding equipment, the appropriate media advance value varies.
¢ When changing the print mode, the appropriate media advance value will vary.
¢ The appropriate media advance value differs in the Print heads of each color.
¢ The correct media advance value differs between right and left sides of media.
¢ When media is easy to adhere to the paper guide like banner.
Hint
In addition to the factors mentioned to the left, even if the media type is same, non-uniformed manufacturing can cause the media advance to vary.
Therefore, when replacing a roll, setting the media advance value must be performed.
( P.4-28 )
When setting to [loose winding], the appropriate media advance value is greater than [tension winding]. ( P.3-28 )
The greater the number of passes is, the greater the correct media advance value will be.
( P.3-25 )
Normally, it is recommended to set the averaged value of 4 colors. However, set the important color suitable for print data.
Normally, it is recommended to set the averaged value of right and left values. However, set the important position suitable for print data as a top priority.
It is recommended that you set the media advance correction value by printing the media advance correction pattern and then make adjustment while changing the correction value during printing of an actual image.
After setting the media advance value determined from the media advance adjustment pattern, it is possible to improve image quality further by adjusting the media advance
( value while printing.

¢ Cleaning of Print head surface
When clogged nozzles is not solved after performing print head cleaning, the print head surface may be contaminating the print. Clean using the following procedure.
