Heater Temperature Pre-heater/platen heater:
30 °C to 50 °C (86 °F to
122 °F)
After heater: 30 °C to 55 °C
(86 °F to 131 °F)
The temperatures for the pre-, platen, and after heaters can each be
adjusted separately.
Drying Time Per Pass 0 to 10sec Select the time the print head pauses to allow drying after each pass.
Choose from values between 0.0 and 10.0 seconds. 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 for drying the ink.
Increasing the drying time increases the time needed to print.
After Heater Feed Mode 1 To feed media to the after heater after printing, choose Mode 1 or
Mode 2; otherwise, choose Off.
If Mode 1 is selected, the portion fed for drying will not be rewound
before the next job starts. Select this option if the media will be cut
before the next job starts.
If Mode 2 is selected, the portion fed for drying will be rewound before
the next job starts, eliminating unnecessary margin. Select this option if
multiple jobs will be printed consecutively.

On Select On to enable, or Off to disable, the optional additional print
drying system. Note that even when On is selected, the additional print
drying system will turn off with the heaters when the Heat Off Timer
expires. The additional print drying system will turn back on when the
heaters resume operation. See “Printer Setup Menu” on page 156.
This item is displayed only when the optional additional print drying
system is installed.
Off
Media Suction 0 to 10 Suction is required to maintain the correct distance between the media
and the print head; the amount needed varies with the type of media.
Excessive suction can increase the gap between the print head and thin
or flexible media, potentially reducing print quality or preventing the
media feeding normally. In such cases, you will need to lower media
suction. The suction power is weakened when the parameter is
lowered.
Head Movement
Data Width Choose the range in which the print head moves during printing.
Data Width restricts print head movement to the printed area.
Restricting the extent of print head movement increases print speed.
If Printer Full Width is selected, the print head will move the full width
of the largest media supported by the printer. Select this option for
more even print results with less variation.
