Advanced operations
Change the media advance mode
Some types of media may tend to adhere to the platen or the paper guide, making it difficult for the media to
advance smoothly.
In such cases, change the media advance mode.
The operation required to advance the media smoothly depends on the level of adhesion.
Change the advance mode in accordance with the media being used.
FORWARD ONLY Advance the media normally.
BACK & FWD LOW An operation to separate the media from the platen is performed when printing
starts and after a pause.
Always make the following setting when using this mode.
- Set TUR MODE to LOOSE.
(See Tension and loose mode setting procedure on
page 62.)
BACK & FWD HIGH In addition to the operation executed with BACK & FWD LOW, the operation to
separate the media from the platen is performed during each scan.
Always make the following setting when using this mode.
- Set TUR MODE to LOOSE.
(See Tension and loose mode setting procedure on
page 62.)
BACK & FWD MAX In addition to the operation executed with BACK & FWD LOW, the media is
advanced slowly.
Always make all the following four settings when using this mode.
(1) Set SUCTION FAN POWER to LOW.
(See Decrease the platen suction fan power on
page 176.)
(2) Use the TUR unit and set TUR MODE to TENSION.
(3) Set the take-up direction switch to the outer direction position.
(4) Use the TUR unit in the pulled forward position.
(For more information on (2) to (4), see Setting the media on the take-up
reel unit on page 62.)
This mode is recommended for thin banner or other media that adheres easily.
FWD LESS WRINKLES In this mode, the media is fed 55 cm before the printing starts if 5 minutes or more
has passed since the previous printing finishes. The other operations are the same
as in normal mode.
This mode is used to remove the wrinkles that may appear when using solvent
printing coated paper.
