paper and print set-
tings are incorrectly
specified.

Check the instruc-
tion manual for the

Refer to “Paper

check the paper.

With this unit, paper is fed
by the friction of rollers.
Due to this, there may be
slight errors in the hori-
zontal and vertical direc-
tions. These errors differ
depending on the paper.
