2.3.3 Position and function of the heating elements
2.3.3.1 Pre-Heater
The Pre-Heater is located at the rear of the printer, between the Roll media and the Print head. It is used
to preheat the media before printing. This opens the pores of the media, making it more receptive to
receiving the ink.
2.3.3.2 Platen Heater
The Platen Heater is located under the Platen, which is directly under the Print head. It is used to warm
up the ink. This improves the fixation of the ink to both coated and uncoated media and optimizes the dot
gain control, all of which produces improved print quality.
