Question Answer
I want to easily create
vertical or horizontal ban-
ners. You can print originals that are in landscape (or portrait) orientation automatically enlarged to fit the roll width. This
is an easy way to create vertical or horizontal banners.
(See "Printing Vertical or Horizontal Banners (Large-Format Printing).")

Does this printer support
sub-ink tank system? This printer supports sub-ink tank system.
Even if an ink tank becomes empty during printing, since a certain amount of ink always is stored in a sub-ink tank,
you can replace the ink tank while printing.
(See "Replacing Ink Tanks.")

I want to know how to
configure roll cutting. You can select the cutting method by the setting of the printer driver and the setting of the printer.
To cut rolls automatically after printing, set
Cutting Mode of the printer to Automatic and Automatic Cutting of
the printer driver to Yes .
When using paper for which ink adhesion takes time or the print surface is easily scratched, we recommend that
you set the
Cutting Mode setting of the printer to Eject .

What type of function is
color calibration? Color calibration improves color consistency by compensating for slight differences in how color appears when
printing due to individual variations or aging among the printers.
We recommend color calibration in the following situations.
• After initial printer installation
•
After Printhead replacement
• When you sense a change of color compared to previously
•
To print with colors aligned from multiple printers
•
When the execution guide is displayed
(See "Color Calibration Using the Printer Sensor.")

printing? This printer cannot perform duplex printing.
If you use the
Folded Duplex function in the Free Layout of Windows software, you can print two pages one-sided,
fold them at the center and suspend them to substitute for duplex printing.
