NOTE: Photo and coated paper requires careful handling, see The print is scued or scratched on page 140.
Change the drying time
You may wish to change the drying time setting to suit special printing conditions such as multiple prints
where time is of higher importance or when you need to be sure ink is dry before handling.
Swipe down the dashboard and touch , scroll the menu and touch Print retrieval > Select drying time.
You can select:
●
None, to disable the drying time and remove your print as soon as it nishes printing
●
Optimized, to set the default and recommended time for your selected paper (this is the default setting)
●
Extended, to set a longer than recommended time to ensure ink is completely dry
CAUTION: If the ink is not dry when the print is removed it could leave ink in the output tray and marks on
the print.
NOTE: If you cancel the drying time during a print, the printer may not feed and cut the paper right away
due to the printhead maintenance, which runs in parallel. If the dry time is zero, the printer cuts the paper and
then performs the printhead maintenance. However, if the dry time is greater than zero, the printer does not
cut the paper until the printhead maintenance has nished.
Turn the automatic cutter on and o
To turn the printer's paper cutter on or o, go to the front panel, swipe down the dashboard and touch , >
Print retrieval > Enable cutter and change the cutter option.
The default setting is On.
NOTE: If the cutter is turned o, it will not cut the paper between jobs, but it will continue to cut the paper
on loading and unloading rolls.
TIP: To cut roll paper while the automatic cutter is disabled, see Form feed with or without cutting
on page 42.
Form feed with or without cutting
If you go to the front panel, swipe down the dashboard and touch , then scroll down the menu and touch
Form feed, the printer advances. If you select Form feed and cut, the printer advances the paper and makes a
straight cut across the front edge. There are at least two possible reasons why you might want to do this.
●
To trim the leading edge of the paper if it is damaged or not straight.
●
To feed and cut the paper when the automatic cutter has been disabled.
NOTE: The printhead is serviced after each print, and the paper cannot be cut until the process completes,
so you may notice a delay.
