- If the carriage moves away from the standby position when not printing, problems such as drying-out of the printing heads or dot drop-
out during printing may occur. For this reason, about 60 seconds after pressing the [
] key to move the carriage, the carriage returns
to the standby position.
Also, the carriage returns to the standby position when about 20 seconds passes during this interval after the [
] and [ ] key is
released.
If the setting could not be made in within the time limit, then do the setting over again from the beginning.
- The starting location set by pressing the [BASE POINT] key is released after printing one page.
