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.
Printer Full Width
Restricting the extent of print head movement increases print speed.
If Printer Full Width is selected, the print head will move the full width
of the largest media supported by the printer. Select this option for more
even print results with less variation.
Off Choose the number of times each line is printed.
2 to 8
Printable Side Out Choose Printable Side Out or Printable Side In according to how the
media is rolled.
Printable Side In
Periodically Choose Periodically or Every page to have the printer automatically
monitor and adjust media tension during printing for optimal results, Off
Every page
to disable automatic tension adjustment.
Off Periodically is recommended in most circumstances.
The printer may however be unable to adjust tension appropriately for
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:
Do not print at the end of a roll
Do not select Off for Media End Check.
Select Every page for more precise tensioning, but note that print times
will increase.
0 to 40 Increase tension if creases appear in the media during printing. The
higher the value, the greater the tension.
The manufacturer default set values will change as follows depending on
the Tension Measurement setting.
Periodically/Every Page: Level 15
Off: Level 25
1 to 2 Choose a slower feed speed if thin media is creased or torn or sticks
together during printing. The lower the value, the slower the speed.
