Main Menu
[EDGE DETECTION]
Setting range: ENABLE, DISABLE
Default value: ENABLE
This specifies whether detection of the front and rear edges of the
media is enabled or disabled.
This should normally be set to [ENABLE].
When loading transparent media, set this to [DISABLE]. When
doing this, ensure a margin of 80 mm (3-3/16 in.) or more from
the leading edge of the media to the start position for printing or
cutting.
[ADJUST BI-DIR] > [TEST PRINT]
This prints a test pattern for adjustment of bidirectional printing.
[ADJUST BI-DIR] > [SETTING No.1 to 4]
Setting range: -30 to +10 (in steps of 1/2)
Default value: 0
This sets the adjustment values.
[ADJUST BI-DIR] > [LOAD PRESETTING]
This loads the adjustment values saved in memory 1 through 8.
[ADJUST BI-DIR] > [SAVE PRESETTING]
This saves the values of [SETTING NO.1 - 4] as [PRESETTING
1] through [PRESETTING 8]. You can save up to eight adjust-
ment-value patterns.
[PRINT-CUT ADJ.] > [TEST PRINT]
This prints a test pattern for adjustment use.
[PRINT-CUT ADJ.] > [FEED SETTING]
Setting range: -5.0 to +5.0 mm (in steps of 0.1 mm)
Default value: 0 mm
This sets the adjustment value for the media-feed direction.
[PRINT-CUT ADJ.] > [SCAN SETTING]
Setting range: -5.0 to +5.0 mm (in steps of 0.1 mm)
Default value: 0 mm
This sets the adjustment value for the scan direction (the car-
riage-movement direction).
[PRINT-CUT ADJ.] > [AUTO]
Alignment of the printing and cutting positions is performed au-
tomatically.
[CALIBRATION] > [PRINTING ADJ.] > [TEST PRINT]
This prints a test pattern for verifying the adjustment.
[CALIBRATION] > [PRINTING ADJ.] > [SETTING]
Setting range: -2.00% to +2.00% (in steps of 0.05%)
Default value: 0%
This corrects for errors in the amount of feed of the grit rollers
due the type of media. Be sure to make this setting when you have
replaced the media with a different type. Make this setting again
when horizontal stripes are plainly visible on printing results.
[CALIBRATION] > [CUTTING ADJ.] > [FEED SET-
TING]
Setting range: -2.00% to +2.00% (in steps of 0.01%)
Default value: 0%
This corrects for the cutting length (media-feed direction) when
using the machine for cutting only. When using the machine for
printing and cutting, always set the offset value to [0].
[CALIBRATION] > [CUTTING ADJ.] > [SCAN SET-
TING]
Setting range: -2.00% to +2.00% (in steps of 0.01%)
Default value: 0%
This corrects for the cutting length (carriage-movement direction)
when using the machine for cutting only. When using the machine
for printing and cutting, always set the offset value to [0].
[INK CONTROL] > [EMPTY MODE]
Setting range: CONT., STOP
Default value: STOP
When replacement of the ink cartridge becomes necessary while
printing is in progress, this setting determines whether printing
continues or pauses. This setting is used when the ink cartridge
cannot be changed immediately during printing, such as during
unattended operation at night.
[CONT.] causes printing to continue without pause even if ink
refilling becomes necessary. To replace an ink cartridge, press the
[PAUSE] key to pause operation, then replace with a new car-
tridge. Pressing the [PAUSE] key again resumes printing.
Printing continues with the small amount of ink remaining, so the
printed image may become faint as the ink runs out. In general, it
would be possible to perform about 1 m
2
(10 ft
2
) of printing once
this message appears, although the actual amount varies widely
according to the amount of ink needed for the particular image.
Printing is continued only for the data currently being printed.
Operation stops after one image is output.
[STOP] causes operation to pause immediately when the ink car-
tridge needs to be changed. Printing is resumed by replacing the
cartridge. Note, however, that the colors of an image in progress
may no longer match perfectly. Before you perform lengthy print-
ing, replace with ink cartridges that contain enough ink.
[INK CONTROL] > [PUMP UP]
This drains ink from the printing heads.
[INK CONTROL] > [HEAD WASH]
This washes the printing heads using optionally available clean-
ing cartridges.
