Description
Depending on the media, the media may be thick, or may wrinkle or come loose from the platen during
printing, increasing the chance of contact with the print heads. When you're using such media, set [HEAD
HEIGHT] to "HIGH." Printing quality when [HEAD HEIGHT] is set to "HIGH" may be coarser or otherwise
lower than when set to "LOW." If this happens, refer to the pages indicated below.
