Diagram Name Description
1Pre Heaters
Heat paper before printing.
This pre-heating combined with the heating on the
Platen Heaters and the After Heaters allows raising the
paper temperature successfully after the paper feeding
starts.
The pre-heating also prevents the paper from deforming
when heating during printing operation.
2 Platen Heaters
Heat paper to control the sizes of dots landed on the
paper (so as to prevent the ink to spread).
3 Thermistors Detect the temperature of each heater.
4 After Heaters Heat paper to dry ink after printing.
