Parameter Explanation
1.5 Change Platen Gap (the gap between the print head and the media) for
the media setting bank selected in the software RIP.
2.0
The default setting of 2.0 is recommended in most situations. Choose 1.5
2.5 if print quality is unsatisfactory. Choose 2.5 if printout is scratched or
smudged. Choosing a larger gap than required may result in ink stains
inside the printer, reduced print quality, or shorter product life.
0.1 to 1.0 mm Enter a value for media thickness of from 0.1 to 1.0 mm (4 to 40 mil).
(4 to 40 mil)
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.
Every page
Periodically is recommended in most circumstances.
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.
- Auto is recommended in most situations. If Media Size Check is not On
when Auto is set, the appropriate tension is not applied because the
0 to 40
media width cannot be detected.
If Media Size Check is Off, set Feeding Tension to Manual and then set
the recommended value for the media width.
If Feeding Tension is set to Auto and creases appear during printing or
black bands (dark stripes) appear in the prints, set Feeding Tension to
Manual. When Manual is set, we recommend setting Feeding Tension to
a value that complies with the width of the loaded media. See "Feeding
Tension" on page 70 for more information.
If other values are used, banding (horizontal banding, lines, or strips of
uneven color) or wrinkles may appear in the prints.
- Auto is recommended in most situations. If Media Size Check is not On
when Auto is set, the appropriate tension is not applied because the
1 to 6
media width cannot be detected.
If Media Size Check is Off, set Take-up Tension to Manual and then set
the recommended value for the media width.
If Take-up Tension is set to Auto and creases appear during printing or
black bands (dark stripes) appear in the prints, set Take-up Tension to
Manual. When Manual is set, we recommend setting Take-up Tension to
Lv3.
If other values are used, banding (horizontal banding, lines, or strips of
uneven color) or wrinkles may appear in the prints.
