Changing the printing origin
The position of the printing origin can be changed.
Moving the LED pointer to the changing position and
deciding the position.
1
In Local, Press .
• It enters into the origin setting mode.
2
Press to set a light
point of the LED pointer to thechanging
position.
• Select the carriage and media, moving the point
with [][][][].
3
After determining the origin, press the
key.
• The printing origin is changed.
Typical setting position of printing
origin
The printing origin in the depth direction (X') is positioned
at about 75 mm rearward from the slot for cutting on the
platen. The printing origin in the scanning direction (Y') is
positioned at 15 mm from the right end of the media. The
value in the scanning direction (Y') can be changed using
[MARGIN] in FUNCTION mode. ( P.3-7)
This can be changed by using the Jog key.
Preparing for the Heaters
Changing the Temperature Settings
for the Heaters
You can change/save the temperature settings for the
heaters with "Heater" of the setting mode. ( P.3-6)
Here, changing method of the temperature set in the
setting mode is explained.
Set the heater temperature according to the
characteristics of the media you use.
The temperature of the heaters has been set to "OFF" as
default.
Appropriate temperature adjustment can be made because
the temperature can be adjusted even during printing.
It may take several minutes to tens of minutes for the set
temperature to be reached, depending on the ambient temperature.
1
Press the key,and then press the
(Heater)
in LOCAL.
• The heater temperature adjustment screen will be

2
Press to set the
temperature of each heater.
Heater selecting: Select with [][]
Temperature setting:Set with [][]
• The heater starts to get hot.
3
The heating of the heater stops.
• When the heater temperature reaches the set
temperature, the heater icon lights in green.
4
Press the key to stop heating.
• The screen returns to LOCAL.

• Use this machine under 20 to 30C. The
temperature may not reach the set value
due to the environmental temperature
condition.
• TS55-1800 has two heaters (POST 1
and POST 2) and an optional external
heater in the main unit.
Normally, printing is possible at ±3°C of
the set temperature. However, the
heaters are easily affected by heat from
other heaters, so printing is possible
using the following specifications.
Heater
type
Heater specifications
POST1
Heater for preheating.
• Maximum set temperature= 50ºC
(However, a temperature higher
than POST2 cannot be set.)
• Heat from POST2 affects this
heater, so you print even if the
upper temperature range is more
than 3ºC.
* Depending on the usage
environment, the temperature on
the screen may decrease.
POST2
Heater for dry.
• Maximum set temperature= 60ºC
• If you have installed the optional
fan heater, the optional fan heater
affects this heater, so you print
even if the upper temperature
range is more than 3ºC.
