Heater
Pre-heater /Print heater / Post-heater are equipped on the platen.
The Pre-heater is used for pre-heating of the media prior to printing to prevent rapid temperature changing.
The Print-heater improves the image quality in printing.
The Post-heater dries ink after printing.
Media sensor
The media sensor detects the presence of the media and the media
length.
This machine has a media sensor on the platen (in the rear).
• 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 temperatures 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.
• Set the media so that the media sensor located in the
rear of the platen is covered with the media without
fail. The media can not be detected unless it is
placed over the sensor.
