Fully Utilizing the Media Heating System
What Is the Media Heating System?
This machine is equipped with a media heating system that warms the media. You use this mainly to improve
ink adhesion and dry the ink. You can adjust the temperature settings to match the type of media and the
printing speed.
Note: By using an optional dryer, you can speed up the drying of the ink more.
P. 89, "Using an Optional Dryer"
WARNING
Caution: High temperatures
The platen and dryer become hot. Exercise caution to avoid re or burns.
WARNING
Remove any loaded media or switch off the sub power when printing is
not being performed.
The continued application of heat at a single location may cause re or produce
toxic gases.
WARNING
Never use media that cannot withstand the heat.
Doing so may result in re or the release of toxic gases or may degrade the
media.
WARNING
Never use the platen or dryer for any purpose for which they are not
intended, such as to dry clothing.
Doing so may cause overheating, resulting in re or accident.
Use the machine in an environment with an ambient temperature of 20 to 32°C (68 to 90°F).
If the machine is used at an ambient temperature lower than 20°C (68°F), then depending on the type or
width of the media, wrinkling or temperature-caused unevenness may occur. If this happens, try lowering the
temperature of the media heating system by about 2°C (36°F). To obtain stable printing results, however, use
the machine in an environment with an ambient temperature of 20 to 32°C (68 to 90°F).
