Setting for 1-way high-speed printing
New piezo electric heads, the staggered-layout print head provides more attractive, faster
printing, and allows ultra high-precisions 8-head 1-way printing. Set the left and right ink car-
tridge cases with ink cartridges of the same types and same colors.

• Set ink cartridges of the same type and same color to 1 and A, 2 and B, 3 and
C, 4 and D, 5 and E, 6 and F, 7 and G, and 8 and H, respectively.
• When using sublimation dye ink, install any color of sublimation dye ink as
the dummy ink into the ink station No. 1, 8, A and H because the sublimation
dye ink is 6 color composition. Any color of sublimation dye ink can be used
as the dummy ink, but BLACK is reccomended to install into the ink station
No. 1 and A because it is easier to check the dot position when operating
print adjustment.
• Do not use the washing cartridges as the dummy ink. It may cause the head
trouble.
• When two sets of ink of the same type are set in the two ink stations, it is
possible to use the function which, if the ink in the ink station currently used
runs out during printing, switches from that ink station to the other ink station
to permit the printing operation to be continued without interruption (See page
3.23).
• Paste the tuck titles on the ink station cover to indicate the installed ink cartrige
color.
