Specifying the Ink Drying Time for Rolls

Specifying the Ink Drying Time for Rolls

When you are using paper that takes longer for ink to adhere, ink may be transferred onto the paper surface during
ejection, soiling it. In that case, you may be able to improve the condition by setting the time to wait for the ink to dry
after printing.
•
If the Cutter touches the print surface on which the ink is not dry, the paper surface may become scratched or soiled, or the
paper surface may rub when the paper falls and the surface may become soiled.
Note
To wait for the ink to dry without allowing printed documents to fall after printing, set Cutting Mode on the menu of the printer
to Eject. (See "Specifying the Cutting Method for Rolls.")
