Page 8: Media Selection
● Head Alignment ● Roll Type (Side In, Side Out) ● Tension Measurement ● Media Tension The platen gap is the gap between the print head surface and the media and not the Media and the print head. Depending on the media thickness, set the correct platen gap to avoid head strike. On SC‐S30600/610, you can set the gap from 1.5 (std value) to 2.5. For all media, the platen gap will have an important effect on print quality. Tips : If you wish to optimise the output quality, try to use other platen gap settings.

Page 11: B4. Tension Measurement
According to Tension Measurement, the sequence will check [Periodically], [Every Page] or [Off] the tension value selected in this section. You can choose from 0 (no tension) to 40 (high tension). Depending on the media type, we suggest you to use these tension chart values : Media Type TENSION Thin Film 5‐10 Polyester, Vinyl 15‐20 Banner, Canvas 25‐35 In the case you don’t really know what is the best tension settings, please refer to this generic rule : ‐ For thin media = low tension ‐ for medium media = medium tension ‐ thick and heavy media = high tension Reminder : each time [RIP Settings] is selected, all media loaded with this selection will use the settings described above. For more options, please refer to your RIP software to apply additional media settings. Epson Engineering Europe SC‐S30600/610 Technical Guide P a g e | 11 ... -

[OK] Done [↖] Back If you use the external drying, you may turn it ON by this menu. C5. After Heater Feed After Heater Feed Mode 1 Mode 2 Off [OK] Done [↖] Back If you need to feed the media to the after heater, you can set 2 modes (otherwise use [OFF]) Mode 1 : the portion of Media fed to the after heater will not be rewound before the next job starts. Mode 2: the portion of Media fed to the after heater will be rewound before the next job starts, eliminating waste margin of media. This option is set for multiple jobs. C6. Media Suction Media Suction Lv 4 Range : Lv 0‐10 Current: Lv 4 [OK] Done [↖] Back The suction is an important setting to keep the stability of the media during the prints. For most media type, use a value range between 5 to 10. For very thin media (according printer Specs), use low suction (1 to 4).

[OK] Done [↖] Back The head movement will limit the carriage pass to the image size (Data Width) or to the Printer Width (Printer Full Width). Tips : If you wish to optimise the printing quality, better use [Full Width] settings instead of [Data Width] C8. Multi‐Strike Printing (used for transparent media) Multi‐Strike Printing Range : OFF, 2‐8 Current: OFF [OK] Done [↖] Back The multi‐strike printing (or multiple layers) settings will allow to add ink density, especially for transparent media, e.g backlit film, where you need to increase the ink density. Input the desired value from 2 to 8. Tips : the multi‐strike printing will reduce the printing speed. More you use multiple layers, more you increase the printing time C9. Feed Speed Feed Speed Lv 1 Range : Lv 1‐2 Current: Lv 1 [OK] Done [↖] Back There are two Feed Speed settings 1 or 2. Use a slower feed speed in case of Media wrinkles, sticks pages effect during printing or torn effect. The lower is the value, the slower is the print speed.
