Condition

Uneven density or dense streaks appears in the image.

NormalUneven density appearing as bands
Cause

Media feed amount is not appropriate.

Solution
  1. Press [Level Setting] in [Media Feed Adjustment]. (Default OFF)
  2. Select [Level 2].
  3. Exit the setting screen, and then print.

  4. Step 1 to 3 improves uneven density, but if you want higher image quality, select [Level 3 (Hi)]. If black streaks in the horizontal direction appear as shown below, select [Level 1 (Lo)].

    The relation beween uneven density and black streaks is a trade off, so changing the level may prevent uneven density and make black streaks, and vice versa.

  5. If more adjustment is needed after the adjustment descripted above, select [Micro Setting] in [Media Feed Adjustment]. (Default 0)

  6. To reduce uneven density, input [-]. To reduce black streaks, input [+].
    Guide for value: One level change in [Level Setting] is equivalent to 4 to 8 in [Micro Setting].

Furthermore, you can solve the problem in the following procedure.

  1. Press [Micro Setting] in [Media Feed Adjustment].
    To reduce uneven density, input [-]. To reduce black streaks, input [+].
    Guide for value: Adjust the value by ±4.
  2. Exit the setting screen, and then print.
  3. Repeat the step 1 and 2.

    Adjustment value may depend on the media, print mode, and the environment.
