Item Parameter Explanation
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
the 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.
