Problem

Solution

The printed image is out of alignment

Make sure that you are using genuine Brother thermal paper
and that the paper is loaded properly (see Printing on page 33).

Check if whether the platen roller is dirty. If it is dirty, clean it
(see Cleaning the Platen Roller on page 53).

image is too light or too dark

Adjust the density setting using the printer driver (see Making
Prints Lighter or Darker
on page 34)

Make sure that you are using genuine Brother thermal paper.

The image is compressed and stretched
in many places

Make sure that the release cover was not left open during
printing. If it is open, close it completely.

Check if the paper is slipping in the printer. If it is slipping, make
sure that the platen roller is clean (see Cleaning the Platen

margins as needed.

Make sure that you are not forcefully inserting the paper into
the paper input slot. Always insert paper gently.
