6. Drying Time:

The default is *0.0 Sec. Setting a Dry Time is useful if the printer pauses during a print waiting for more data to
print from the computer. Ideally the print head of the printer should continue moving consistently from start to finish
when printing an image. If the print head paused waiting for more data the ink it has already laid down dries, then
when more data arrives the printing continues however the new wetter ink cannot blend with the already dried ink
causing a wide horizontal band in the image. One solution to a computer that cannot keep the printer running
consistently is to add a Dry Time or delay between each print head pass this will cause each layer of ink the same
amount of time to dry and eliminate the wide horizontal bands in the images. The other solution is a faster
computer. (Range 0.0 Sec. -
7. Suction:
The default is *Normal. The normal setting is the best selection for most media however if you are using thin or
very thin media you may want to try the optional setting of Low.

8. Print Adjustment:

The default is *5. This selection allows you to adjust the MicroWeave pattern. MicroWeave is the pattern of dots
the print head lays down. By adjusting this value a more uniform image can be produced and can also reduce or
remove minor banding.
