Set 20: Spitting
Note
• Spitting is a maintenance operation for preventing clogging of the print head's nozzles. It consumes ink.
• When Spitting is set to "Off", nozzles will become easily clogged because spitting is not performed. In such a case, print quality cannot be guaranteed.
• When the spitting setting is "On Media", the maximum printable media width becomes 16 mm shorter.
Therefore, the side margins become the value that you have set in Side Margin menu +8 mm.
