  • The "Head travel" setting (in user mode) is set on "Machine" width


The following phenomenon may then occur:


Note

Usually when "illegal printing" is occurring on printers, technicians tend to investigate the head cables or the print head first. In this particular case on this model, be careful because in the above circumstances this is not the case!


Cause


The issue has been identified and is due to firmware. The issue is present in firmware version 1.01 or lower.


Temporary solution - workaround


Change the setting of "Head Travel" in user mode from "Machine" to "Media" or "Data"

The issue has been resolved with firmware version 1.02 or higher.
