→ To establish optimum fixation onto the media
(coated and uncoated).
→ Optimizes the dot gain control.
Post-Fixer (Heater C) 20 – 70°C
→ The post-fixer finalizes the fixation process and
helps to make the prints touch-dry.
Dryer (Heater D) 20 – 50°C

with the take-up in combination with higher output
speeds.
→ Stickiness of printed banner materials is improved.
There have been a number of requests from the field, asking the heaters to be on by default for a few user
settings. This has now been implemented as follows:
1) For user 1 and user 8 default settings are as follows:
a. Pre heater A: 50°C
b. Fixer B: 40°C
c. Post Fixer C: 50°C
d. Dryer D: 50°C
2) For users 2 Î 7, by default the heaters are still OFF.
Notes :
• Please note some RIP software do not allow selection of the user from software
side. In some cases, however, they do automatically activate user 8.
