Configurations and Functions
Heater
The following three heaters are built in platen.
LEDs indicate the turning ON/OFF and status of the respective heaters. Turning off the power switch of
the printer body turns off also the power to the heaters.
When solvent ink is used. When water-based ink is used.
pre-heater
Pre-heats the media being drawn and
prevents the sharp increase of temper-
ature at the printing part. Not used.
print heater
Improves the quality of images at the
time of printing. Not used.
post-heater
Dries the ink after printing.

While the heater is on, the platen is very hot. When the front cover is to be
opened or media is to be replaced, lower the heater temperatures and wait until
the platen temperature drops; otherwise, you can get burned.

When the media is to be replaced with a thin one, lower the heater tempera-
tures and wait until the platen temperature drops adequately. Setting a thin
sheet of media while the platen is hot may cause the media to stick to the
platen or cause wrinkling or curling of the media.

Do not leave the media being heated with the heaters for a long time without
performing printing. Otherwise, the surface of the media may rise like a wave
and thus the heads may rub on the media. If the media is found having risen
like a wave, feed the media with the [

] key until the surface free from the rise
comes to the printing position, and then start printing.
