Platen Gap 1.6
This is displayed when Custom Paper is selected in Paper Type.
When registering Custom Paper, this is the Platen Gap (distance
between print head and paper) for the paper selected in Change
Reference Paper, so it does not normally need to be changed.
Change this to a setting that will widen the gap (a higher value) if
print results are smeared.

Drying Time
Drying Time per Pass 0.0 to 10.0
seconds (0.0
*
)
Select the time the print head pauses to allow drying after each
pass. Choose from values between 0.0 and 10.0 seconds.
Depending on the paper type, the ink may take a while to dry. If the
ink blurs on the paper, set a longer time for drying the ink.
Increasing the drying time increases the time needed to print.
Drying Time per Page 0.0 to 60 minutes
(0.0
*
)
Specify how long the printer pauses to allow the ink to dry after
printing each page; choose from values between 0.0 and 60
minutes. Depending on the ink density or paper type, the ink may
take a while to dry. If the ink blurs on the paper, set a longer time
for drying the ink. The longer the drying time, the more time
required for printing.
Auto Cut
On
*
Select whether to automatically cut (On) or not cut (Off) using the
built-in cutter as each page is printed on roll paper. Set On to
automatically cut the edge if it is not a horizontal cut when paper is
loaded. The setting selected with the printer driver takes priority
when the printer driver is used.
