Pre-heater: Set up, to pre-heat the media before printing. For roll media, set the
temperature higher than that of the platen heater.
Platen heater: Warms up the media to increase adhesion property of ink and printing
quality.
Drier: Dries the ink after printing
Air-heater: Blows hot air on the media surface while printing on thick media to accelerate
drying of the ink.
For marking films
Pre-heater: 45°C

Platen heater: 40°C

Drier: 50°C

Air-heater: 130°C

For 5 mm plastic cardboard

Platen heater: Off

Drier: Off

Air-heater: 160°C

When printing on thick media, use both air heater and platen heater.

If printing using only one of the heaters, the heated surface of the thick media
expands, which warps the media, causing head friction.
