76 Setup 2: Spitting
Setup 2: Spitting
Sets up the spitting operation while printing.
The display will shift to setting of the pass count only if “On” is set for “Spitting”.
Setting values
Perform the spitting operation on Spitting
box located on the origin side for every
shuttle.
This is the initially set value.
Perform the spitting operation on the
page margins. The printing speed will be
improved since the number of time to
return to Spitting box is reduced.
Spitting operation is not performed.
Note
• Spitting is a maintenance operation for preventing clogging of the print head’s nozzles. It consumes ink.
• When Spitting is set to “Off”, nozzles will become easily clogged because spitting is not performed. In such a case, print quality cannot be
guaranteed.
• When the spitting setting is “On Media”, the maximum printable media width becomes 16 mm shorter.
Therefore, the side margins become the value that you have set in Side Margin menu +8 mm.

This is for setting the interval at which the print head will carry out spitting
operation.
The head will carry out spitting operation every time it completes the number of
passes that you set here.

Setting values
1 cnt/<2 cnt> to 999 cnt

Important!
If larger count is selected, the printing time will be faster, but it will increase the chance of nozzle clogging.
In such a case, print quality cannot be guaranteed.
