Heater
Pre-heater /Print heater / Post-heater are equipped on the platen.
The Pre-heater is used for pre-heating of the media prior to printing to prevent rapid temperature changing.
The Print-heater improves the image quality in printing.
The Post-heater dries ink after printing.
Media sensor
The media sensor detects the presence of the media and the media length.
This machine has a media sensor on the platen (in the rear).
• While the heater is on, the platen is very hot. When the front cover is to be opened or media is to be
replaced, lower the heater temperatures and wait until the platen temperature drops; otherwise, you can
get burned.
• When the media is to be replaced with a thin one, lower the heater temperatures and wait until the platen
temperature drops adequately. Setting a thin sheet of media while the platen is hot may cause the media
to stick to the platen or cause wrinkling or curling of the media.
• When setting a medium, be sure to cover either of the medium sensors located on the rear of the
platen. The media can not be detected unless it is placed over the sensor.
