-4 to +3 It is important to choose the appropriate amount of suction for the
paper used in order to maintain the correct distance between the
paper and print head. Choosing too high a value for thin or soft
paper will increase the distance between the paper and print head
too much, causing print quality to decline or preventing the paper
feeding correctly. In such cases, you will need to lower the paper
suction. The lower the setting value, the weaker the suction power.

seconds (0.0 )
Depending on the paper type, the ink may take a while to dry. If the
ink blurs on the paper, set a longer time for drying the ink.
Increasing the drying time increases the time needed to print.
0.0 to 60 minutes Specify how long the printer pauses to allow the ink to dry after
* printing each page; choose from values between 0.0 and 60
(0.0 )
minutes. Depending on the ink density or paper type, the ink may
take a while to dry. If the ink blurs on the paper, set a longer time
for drying the ink. The longer the drying time, the more time
required for printing.
