If the print-head carriage moves away from the
standby position when not printing, problems such
as drying-out of the print heads or dot drop-out
during printing may occur. For this reason, about
60 seconds after pressing the [
] key to move the
print-head carriage, the print-head carriage returns
to the standby position.
Also, the print-head carriage returns to the standby
position when about 30 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 be-
ginning.
Canceling the Setting
A position set using [BASE POINT] key is canceled in situations like the following.
• When one page was printed
• When media setup is canceled by pressing the [SETUP] key
