Feed Adjustment
Manual
Use this option if banding (horizontal banding, lines, or strips of uneven
color) persists after head cleaning and head alignment have been
performed.
Visually inspect the printed pattern and enter the adjustment value by
hand. See
“Feed Adjustment” on page 76.
Platen Gap
1.5
Choose the platen gap (the distance between the print head and the
media).
The default setting of
2.0
is recommended in most situations. Choose
1.5
if print quality is unsatisfactory. Choose
2.5
if printout is scratched or
smudged. Choosing a larger gap than required may result in ink stains
inside the printer, reduced print quality, or shorter product life.

Heating & Drying
Heater Temperature
Off
The default Heater Temperature is 55 °C (131 °F)
30 to 55 °C
(86 to 131 °F)
Drying Time Per Pass
0 to 10 sec
Select the time the print head pauses to allow drying after each pass.
Choose from values between 0.0 and 10.0 seconds. When you want to
maintain a constant drying time even when the print width changes, set
the drying time according to the media width. See “Heating & Drying” on
page 68 for more information.
The time needed for the ink to dry varies with ink density and the media
used. If the ink blurs on the media, set a longer time than the
recommended value for drying the ink.
Increasing the drying time increases the time needed to print.
After Heater Feed

Select whether to feed media to the after heater after printing (
On
/
Off
).
Select
On
if the media will be cut before the next job starts. Note,
however, that the margin will increase.

Blank Area Feed
Mode 1

see “Heating & Drying” on page 68 and change the mode.
