2-2 Loading Media About the Ambient Temperature During Heater Use To ensure stable printing quality, we recommend use in an environment where the ambient temperature is 20˚C (68˚F) or higher. At low temperatures, warm-up may take a long time, or the temperature may fail to reach the preset value, or large differences in temperature may occur.
2-3 Printing and Cutting Printing Before performing printing, set the preset temperature to 45 to 50˚C (113 to 122˚F) and wait until media becomes sufficiently warm. For information on how to perform printing, refer to the user's manual for the printer. The recommended ambient temperature for ensuring acceptable quality when performing printing is 20 to 32˚C (68 to 89.6˚F).
Cutting/Printing and Cutting This section explains printers equipped with a cutting function. Assurance of Accuracy When Performing Printing and Cutting When the heater is used, the media may experience subtle deformation due to thermal expansion or contraction. For this reason, no assurance is made with respect to the following points when the heater is used. •...
2-4 What to Do If ... The results of printing are coarse. The results of printing may be coarse when the media is not warm enough. In particular, the edges of the media tend not to become as warm as the center, which may result in ink drips or unevenness, depending on the printing data. If this happens, increase the preset temperature and perform printing again.
3-1 Daily Maintenance When cleaning the platen, first switch off the controller and the sub power for the printer. Failure to do so may cause burns when the platen is hot. Never clean with solvents (such as benzine or thinners). Doing so may cause fire when the platen is hot.
