2.2.2 Operation Sequence at Power-off
0012-6494
Turning off the power cuts off the voltage to all drive systems. At this time, the firmware starts the power-off
sequence as shown below.
This printer immediately suspends all operations in progress and stops whenever the power cord is
unplugged or a cover such as the top cover is opened. In this case, the printer may stop without capping the
print head. If the power was turned on by unplugging the power cord, plug the power cord into the outlet,
turn on the power again so that the printer enters the online state, and then press the Power button to turn off
the power.

2.2.3 Print Control
0016-8192
1. Print mode
This printer is capable of fast, high-quality printing without blur and non-uniform density by changing the
carriage operation, media feeding, other printing methods according to the selected media type, print quality,
print data and so on.
Printing is performed for each color using a maximum of 16 paths in each print mode according to the selected
print quality.
This reduces density irregularities caused by the variation in the amounts of ink discharged from individual
nozzles. In addition, it shifts the printing timing so that the current ink layer is nearly fixed before the next ink
layer is applied, thus minimizing bleeding.
Even in the same mode, the printer operates in a different way depending on the media setting made using the
printer driver.
Power button OFF
If media remains,it is ejected even
when printing is in progress.
