Item Parameter Explanation
Advanced Settings In most situations, use the value set for each media type as it is.
When using special media or when a problem such as head striking or
banding is detected in printing results, change the default.
Platen Gap 1.6 Choose the platen gap (the distance between the print head and the
media).
The default setting of 1.6 is recommended in most situations. Choose
2.0 if printout is scratched or smudged. Select 2.5 only if print results are
still smudged when 2.0 is selected. 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 Pre-heater/
platen heater:
OFF, 30 to
50°C (40
*
)
After heater:
OFF, 30 to
55°C (50
*
)
The temperatures for the pre-, platen, and after heaters can each be
adjusted separately.
Drying Time Per Pass
0 to 10 secs (0
*
)
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.
When cutting media using Mode 2, hold down the u button to rewind
the end of the print to the cutter groove, and then cut. If cut without
rewinding the media, printing may not be performed correctly next time.
