Parameter Explanation
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. 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 for drying the ink.
Increasing the drying time increases the time needed to print.
0 to 10 Suction is required to maintain the correct distance between the media
and the print head; the amount needed varies with the type of media.
Excessive suction can increase the gap between the print head and thin or
flexible media, potentially reducing print quality or preventing the media
feeding normally. In such cases, you will need to lower media suction. The
suction power is weakened when the parameter is lowered.
Data Width Choose the range in which the print head moves during printing.
Data Width restricts print head movement to the printed area. Restricting
Printer Full Width
the extent of print head movement increases print speed.
If Printer Full Width is selected, the print head will move the full width of

even print results with less variation.

some media, resulting in excessive slack or other maladjustments that
cause printing problems, in which case you should select Off. Note,
however, that Off may result in unusually large margin between pages. In
addition, printing may not stop and the inside of the printer may become
stained. Observe the following precautions:
