Position and Function of the Heating Elements
Pre-Heater
The Pre-Heater is located at the rear of the printer, between the Roll media and the Print head. It is
used to preheat the media before printing. This opens the pores of the media, making it more receptive
to receiving the ink.
Platen Heater
The Platen Heater is located under the Platen, which is directly under the Print head. It is used to warm
up the ink. This improves the fixation of the ink to both coated and uncoated media and optimizes the
dot gain control, all of which produces improved print quality.
