Changing the Machine Operation Mode
If necessary, switch between various modes of machine operation.
The procedure for configuring Custom Settings is as follows:
Custom Settings
1. Open the printer driver setup window
2. Make sure that the machine is on, and then click Custom Settings on the Maintenance tab
The Custom Settings dialog box opens.
Note
If the machine is off or if communication between the machine and the computer is disabled, an error message
may appear because the computer cannot collect the machine status.
If this happens, click
OK to display the most recent settings specified on your computer.
3. If necessary, complete the following settings:
Prevent paper abrasion
The machine can increase the gap between the print head and the paper during high-density printing to prevent paper
abrasion.
Check this check box to prevent paper abrasion.
Align heads manually
Usually, the Print Head Alignment function on the Maintenance tab is set to automatic head alignment, but you can
change it to manual head alignment.
If the printing results are unsatisfactory even after you execute automatic head alignment, see "
Aligning the Print
Head Position from Your Computer ," and execute manual head alignment.
Check this check box to perform the manual head alignment. Uncheck this check box to perform the automatic head
alignment.
Prevent paper double-feed
Select this check box only if the machine is feeding multiple sheets of plain paper at the same time.
Important
Using this function slows down the print speed.
Rotate 90 degrees left when orientation is [Landscape]
On the Page Setup tab, you can change the rotation direction of the Landscape in the Orientation .
To rotate the print data 90 degrees to the left during printing, select this item. To rotate the print data 90 degrees to
the right during printing, clear this item.
Important
Do not change this setting while the print job is displayed in the print wait list. Otherwise, characters may be
omitted or the layout may become corrupt.
Ink Drying Wait Time
You can set the length of the machine rest time until printing of the next page begins. Moving the slider to the right
increases the pause time, and moving the slider to the left decreases the time.
If the paper gets stained because the next page is ejected before the ink on the printed page dries, increase the ink
drying wait time.
Reducing the ink drying wait time speeds up printing.
4. Apply the settings
Click OK and when the confirmation message appears, click OK .
The machine operates with the modified settings hereafter.
