Explanation
Set the after heater temperature.
The default Heater Temperature is 55 °C.
Select the time the print head pauses to allow drying after each pass.
Choose from values between 0.0 and 10.0 seconds. When you want to
maintain a constant drying time even when the print width changes, set
the drying time according to the media width. See the following for more
information.

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 than the
recommended value for drying the ink.
Increasing the drying time increases the time needed to print.
Select whether to feed media to the after heater after printing (On/Off).
Select On if the media will be cut before the next job starts. Note, however,
that the margin will increase.
If there is a section without print data (a blank area) during a job, the media
is fed quickly. If this mode does not allow the ink to dry sufficiently, see the
following section and change the mode.

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.
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.
Choose the range in which the print head moves during printing.
Data Width restricts print head movement to the printed area. 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.
Choose the number of times each line is printed.
Choose Printable Side Out or Printable Side In according to how the
media is rolled.
