What Is the Media Heating System?

This machine is equipped with a media heating system that warms the media. You use this mainly to improve
ink adhesion and also dry the ink. You can adjust the temperature settings to match the type of media and
the printing speed.
Preheater
This device warms the media before printing.
Print heater
You use this mainly to improve ink adhesion.
Dryer
You use this to speed up drying of the ink.
* By using an optional dryer, you can speed up drying of the ink more.

WARNING
Use at an ambient temperature of 20 to 32°C (68 to 90°F).
If the machine is used at an ambient temperature lower than 20°C (68°F), then depending on the type or
width of the media, wrinkling or temperature-caused unevenness may occur. If this happens, try lowering
the temperature of the media heating system by about 2°C. To obtain stable printing results, however, the
machine should be used at an ambient temperature of 20 to 32°C (68 to 90°F).
CAUTION: high temperatures
The platen and dryer become hot. Exercise caution to avoid fire or burns.
Remove any loaded media or switch off the sub power when printing is
not being performed.
The continued application of heat at a single location may cause fire or produce
toxic gases.
Never use media that cannot withstand the heat.
Doing so may result in fire or the release of toxic gases, or may degrade the
media.
Never use the platen or dryer for any purpose for which they are not
intended, such as to dry clothing.
Doing so may cause overheating, resulting in fire or accident.
