You can either:

a) Press 

+

 or

 -

 if you want to change media thickness, heater duty cycle, 

image offsets, or print job parameters (if Parameters is enabled); or

b) Press 

ACCEPT

 to continue the print job.

 Press 

ACCEPT

 and the next step in printing is determined by whether the Print 

Parameters were enabled in the Operator/Print Parameters menu. If this is set to 

OFF

 in 

the Operator/Print Parameters/Statistics menu, the control panel display shows the 

message “Place Media Menu” on page 46. However,  if it is set to 

ON

, then either some, 

or all of the following set of print job options are displayed, allowing you to change 

them.

5.3.1

Print Job Parameter Options

The print job parameter options consist of five functions that support printing. If a 

particular option was enabled in the Operator\Enable Job Parameters Change menu, its 

associated screen is displayed in the following order.

Printing Direction

Press  

+

 or 

-

 to change the printing direction. Options are Single or Bidirectional — 

single means that the nozzles will print only in the right to left direction, while 

bidirectional prints in both directions. Press 

ACCEPT

 when the printing option you 

want is displayed.

Home Drying Delay  

Sets a delay time for the carriage each time it reaches the home position during printing. 

Use the 

ACCEPT

 key to move through the displayed digits. The selected digit has an 

underline indicating it can be increased or decreased using the + or - keys. When the digit 

you want is displayed, press 

ACCEPT

 and the underline moves to the next digit. When 

you are at the last digit, pressing 

ACCEPT

 sets the delay time.

Note:

Which of the Print Parameters Options are displayed, and thus able to be 
changed, is determined by whether or not that particular job option was 
enabled in the Operator\Enable Job Parameters Change menu.
