(7) FLATTENING MODE
Select the FLATTENING MODE. If the media stay for
a long period of time set in the printer, the leading
edge of roll media can wrinkle or get dirty, resulting
in print defects. This can be due to humidity or dust.
To avoid this, use this function.
Set the parameters for flatten time setting based on the operating conditions.
When the printer is set without receiving data, after the set time passes, the lead-
ing edge of roll media is automatically advanced in the front of the front cover.
(When the leading edge of roll media is already present in front of the front panel,
this action is omitted.) After printing starts, the media flattening (repeated actions
of advancing and rewinding the media) is automatically performed. Moreover,
when the power is turned off, the leading edge of roll media is automatically
advanced in front of the front cover and the power is shut down. (When using the
media take-up reel unit, the power is shut down without flattening.)
<Parameter (selection)>
NONE This operation is not performed. When printing continuously
or when using a wrinkle-free media, select this setting. But,
when the printer rests a long time in standby, the media could
be wrinkled leading to print defects.
30 min After 30 minutes passe, this operation is performed. Even be-
fore 30 minutes, every time a print starts, the media flattening
is performed. When printing in high humidity environment
and the media wrinkles frequently, set the parameter to this
setting.
1 hour
After 1 hour passes, this operation is performed. When the
interval between prints is often 1 hour and the media wrinkles
frequently, set the parameter to this setting.
2 hours After 2 hours pass, this operation is performed. When the in-
terval between prints is often 2 hours and the media wrinkles
frequently, set the parameter to this setting.
4 hours After 4 hours pass, this operation is performed. When the in-
terval between prints is often 4 hours and the media wrinkles
frequently, set the parameter to this setting.
