Media Settings
Basic Setting Flow
To use new media, configure its settings in advance according to the media characteristics.
Media setting banks store the following:
❏ Setting Name
❏ Platen Gap
❏ Auto Media Adjust
❏ Media Adjust
❏ Heating & Drying
❏ Advanced Settings (Media Suction, Media Tension, etc.)
During general use, follow the flow below to configure settings. However, for some types of
media, you need to manually configure Media Adjust in Step (2) or change the values
specified in Advanced Settings. See "Recommended Media Settings" on page 238 and
"Customize Settings" on page 204.
Setting name > Auto Media Adjust (Feed Adjustment and Head Alignment) > Heating
& Drying
If you have changed printing conditions after saving media settings, reconfigure media
settings using Media Adjust. For details, see "Media Adjust" on page 116.
Precautions regarding settings
❏ Correctly load the media to be adjusted in the same state as for actual printing. For
example, if you are using the auto take-up reel unit for printing, the auto take-up reel
unit should also be used for adjustment. See "Loading and Exchanging Media" on page
38 and "Using the Auto Take-up Reel Unit" on page 92.
❏ Using curled, creased, waved, folded, or curved media may cause an adjustment
failure. Cut off the curled, creased, waved, folded, or curved part, and load the media
just before printing. See "Cutting media" on page 88.
❏ If the media has different widths even when the media type is the same, the media
settings have to be reconfigured. Save media settings for each media width.
