Chapter 4 Adding Media Types
Setting
For media that has no problem when
printing with a standard size margin.
When printing an image at the very end
of the end margin, the cutter touches the
page before the ink has dried and dirties
the printed image. This setting sets the
margin about 5 mm (in the feed
direction) longer than the standard
margin for the media size.
When you set the margin smaller, the printed image may not print
properly or, with some media, the printhead may scratch the
surface.
Setting
For media that has a strong tendency to
curl, causing the printhead to scratch
the surface.
Before you start a print job, check the
setting of the printhead height
adjustment lever.
For standard media.
Select this setting to print fine, delicate
lines of the highest precision as in a
CAD design or drawing.
However, the ink absorption
characteristics of some media may
cause the printing surface to ripple when
the ink is absorbed, causing the
printhead to scratch the surface of the
printout. You should become familiar
with the properties of the media and do
the setting and limit such printing to
media that will not cause rippling.
Example: Film, etc.
Before you start a print job, check the
setting of the printhead height
adjustment lever.
Setting
Select this when the media set is thick,
or when the printhead scratches the
surface.
