Basic printing procedures
5-8. Scheduling a print
Even if the printer is not in the standby state, this function allows you to schedule printing by pressing the Print button in
advance so that the printer will start printing as soon as it becomes available.
5-8-1. When you can schedule printing
You can schedule printing by pressing the Print button in advance while the print data is being received, during the
post-print processing, and during the circulation of white ink.
This is useful if the printer performs the post processing for the previous print job after you remove the printed T-shirt and
set a new T-shirt to the platen.
<TIPS>
Be sure to remove the printed T-shirt from the platen and set the next T-shirt to the platen before you press the Print button.
You cannot press the Print button in advance if the printer is being operated from the menu or an error has occurred.
