-4 to +3 It is important to choose the appropriate amount of suction for the
paper used in order to maintain the correct distance between the
paper and print head. Choosing too high a value for thin or soft paper
will increase the distance between the paper and print head too
much, causing print quality to decline or preventing the paper
feeding correctly. In such cases, you will need to lower the paper
suction. The lower the setting value, the weaker the suction power.
* If there is any wrinkling on the paper during printing, set this to High

or Extra High.

0.0 to 10.0 seconds Select the time the print head pauses to allow drying after each pass.
* Choose from values between 0.0 and 10.0 seconds. Depending on the

paper type, the ink may take a while to dry. If the ink blurs on the
paper, set a longer time for drying the ink. Increasing the drying time
increases the time needed to print.

printing each page; choose from values between 0.0 and 60 minutes.
(0.0 )
Depending on the ink density or paper type, the ink may take a while
to dry. If the ink blurs on the paper, set a longer time for drying the ink.
The longer the drying time, the more time required for printing.

Displayed when Custom Paper is selected in Paper Type. Select
On
whether to detect (On) or not detect (Off) the paper width when
paper is loaded. Try choosing Off if a paper setting error is displayed
Off
even though the paper is correctly loaded. Note, however, that the
printer may print outside the paper when Off is selected. If it prints
beyond the edges of the paper, the inside of the printer becomes dirty
with ink. We generally recommend using the printer with this set to
On.
The changes are applied after the paper is reloaded. Note that they
are not applied if you just change the menu items.
*
Select whether to automatically cut (On) or not cut (Off) using the
On
built-in cutter as each page is printed on roll paper. Set On to
automatically cut the edge if it is not a horizontal cut when paper is
Off
loaded. The setting selected with the printer driver takes priority
when the printer driver is used.
