Heater Temperature
Pre-heater/platen
heater: 30 ˚C to
50 ˚C (86 ˚F to
122 ˚F)
After heater: 30 ˚C
to 55 ˚C (86 ˚F to
131 ˚F)
The temperatures for the pre-, platen, and after heaters can each be
adjusted separately.
Drying Time Per Pass
0 to 10sec
Select the time the print head pauses to allow drying after each pass.
Choose from values between 0.0 and 10.0 seconds. The time needed for
the ink to dry varies with ink density and the media used. If the ink blurs on
the media, set a longer time for drying the ink.
Increasing the drying time increases the time needed to print.
After Heater Feed
Mode 1
To feed media to the after heater after printing, choose
Mode 1
or
Mode 2

If
Mode 1
is selected, the portion fed for drying will not be rewound before
the next job starts. Select this option if the media will be cut before the next
job starts.
If
Mode 2
is selected, the portion fed for drying will be rewound before the
next job starts, eliminating unnecessary margin. Select this option if
multiple jobs will be printed consecutively.

Media Suction
0 to 10
Suction is required to maintain the correct distance between the media
and the print head; the amount needed varies with the type of media.
Excessive suction can increase the gap between the print head and thin or
flexible media, potentially reducing print quality or preventing the media
feeding normally. In such cases, you will need to lower media suction. The
suction power is weakened when the parameter is lowered.
Head Movement
Data Width
Choose the range in which the print head moves during printing.
Data Width
restricts print head movement to the printed area. Restricting
the extent of print head movement increases print speed.
If
Printer Full Width
is selected, the print head will move the full width of
the largest media supported by the printer. Select this option for more
even print results with less variation.
