Adjusting the Ink-drying Method

What Is the Media Heating System?

This machine is equipped with a media heating system that warms the media. You use this mainly to improve ink
adhesion and dry the ink. You can adjust the temperature settings to match the type of media and the printing
speed.

IMPORTANT
Use the machine in an environment with an ambient temperature of 20 to 32°C (68 to 90°F).
If the machine is used at an ambient temperature lower than 20°C (68°F), then depending on the type or width of the media, wrinkling
or temperature-caused unevenness may occur. If this happens, try lowering the temperature of the media heating system by about 2°C
(36°F). To obtain stable printing results, however, use the machine in an environment with an ambient temperature of 20 to 32°C (68
to 90°F).
MEMO
By using an auxiliary drying unit, you can speed up the drying of the ink more. For information about purchasing an auxiliary drying
unit, contact your authorized Roland DG Corporation dealer or visit our website (http://www.rolanddg.com/).

1. Optimizing the Output Quality
This is used to speed up the drying of the ink.
This heater is used mainly to improve ink adhesion.
High temperatures
The platen and dryer become hot. Exercise caution to avoid burns.
When output is not being performed, remove any loaded media or switch off the sub
power.
The continued application of heat at a single location may cause the release of toxic gases from the me-
dia or pose a fire hazard.
Never use media that cannot withstand the heat.
Doing so may result in fire or the release of toxic gases or may degrade the media.
Never use the dryer for any purpose for which it is not intended, such as to dry clothing.
Doing so may cause overheating, resulting in fire or accident.
