78 Set 2: Spitting
Note
• Spitting is a maintenance operation for preventing clogging of the print head's nozzles. It consumes ink.
• When Spitting is set to "Off", Nozzles will become easily clogged because spitting is not performed. In such a case, print quality cannot be guaranteed.
• When the spitting setting is "On Media", the maximum printable media width becomes 16mm shorter.
Therefore, the side margins become the value that you have set in Side Margin menu +8mm.
Pass Count
Note
If the number of spitting returns is set high, there is a higher chance of nozzle clogging when printing for a long time.
In such a case, print quality cannot be guaranteed.
Set 2: Spitting
