Parameter Explanation
- Assign the media setting bank a name up to 22 half-size characters long.
Using distinctive names makes it easier to select banks for use.
Manual Use this option if banding (horizontal banding, lines, or strips of uneven
color) persists after head cleaning and head alignment have been
performed.
The user visually inspects print results and enters the adjustment value by
hand. U
Adjustment varies with the media being used. Load the media for which
feed adjustment is required under the same conditions as the actual print
job.
1.5 Choose the platen gap (the distance between the print head and the
media).
2.0
The default setting for the SC-F7200 and SC-F7100 Series is 2.0. The default
setting for the SC-F7000 Series is 1.5. The default setting is recommended
2.5
in most circumstances. Raise the setting by 1 if printout is scratched or
smudged. Select 2.5 only if print results are still smudged when 2.0 is
selected. Choosing a larger gap than required may result in ink stains
inside the printer, reduced print quality, or shorter product life.
Manual (Uni-D) Select Head Alignment to realign the print head when print results seem
grainy or out of focus.
Manual (Bi-D)
Visually inspect print results and enter an appropriate correction by hand.
U

30 to 55˚C
0 to 10 sec Select the time the print head pauses to allow drying after each pass.
Choose from values between 0.0 and 10.0 seconds. When you want to
maintain a constant drying time even when the print width changes, set
the drying time according to the media width. See the following for more
information.
U
The time needed for the ink to dry varies with ink density and the media
used. If the ink blurs on the media, set a longer time than the
recommended value for drying the ink.
Increasing the drying time increases the time needed to print.
On Select whether to feed media to the after heater after printing (On/Off).
Select On if the media will be cut before the next job starts. Note, however,
Off
that the margin will increase.

Mode 0
is fed quickly. If the value for the selected mode is small, the media is fed at
a quicker speed. If this mode does not allow the ink to dry sufficiently, see
Mode 1
