Fully Utilize the Media Heating System
What Is the Media Heating System?
This machine is equipped with a media heating system that warms the media. You use this mainly to improve
ink adhesion and also dry the ink. You can adjust the temperature settings to match the type of media and
the print speed.
* By using an optional dryer, you can speed up drying of the ink more. Contact your authorized Roland DG
Corp. dealer or us.

WARNING
CAUTION: high temperatures
The platen and dryer become hot. Exercise caution to avoid re or burns.
WARNING
Remove any loaded media or switch off the sub power when printing is
not being performed.
The continued application of heat at a single location may cause re or produce
toxic gases.
WARNING
Never use media that cannot withstand the heat.
Doing so may result in re or the release of toxic gases, or may degrade the
media.
WARNING
Never use the platen or dryer for any purpose for which they are not
intended, such as to dry clothing.
Doing so may cause overheating, resulting in re or accident.
Use at an ambient temperature of 20 to 32°C (68 to 90°F).
If the machine is used at an ambient temperature lower than 20°C (68°F), then depending on the type or
width of the media, wrinkling or temperature-caused unevenness may occur. If this happens, try lowering the
temperature of the media heating system by about 2°C. To obtain stable print results, however, the machine
should be used at an ambient temperature of 20 to 32°C (68 to 90°F).
