6-2 Detailed Descriptions of the Menus
[PREHEATING]
Setting range: PREHEAT, MENU, OFF
Default value: PREHEAT
This sets the temperature of the printing heater and the dryer when
no media is loaded and set up.
[PREHEAT]: This maintains the warm-up temperature (which is
lower than the normal operating temperature) when no media is
loaded and set up. When media is loaded and set up, the heaters
are at the temperature values set at the heater configuration menu.
[MENU]: This maintains the heaters at the temperature values set
at the heater configuration menu even when no media is loaded
and set up.
[OFF]: The heaters do not operate when no media is set up and
loaded. When media is loaded and set up, the heaters are at the
temperature values set at the heater configuration menu.
[FULL WIDTH S]
Setting range: ENABLE, DISABLE
Default value: ENABLE
This sets the movement width of the printing carriage during print-
ing. Using this function may improve printing quality because the
speed of feeding media becomes uniform, but printing may take
more time. When you're using the heater unit, be sure to set this
menu item to [ENABLE].
[ENABLE]: The movement width of the printing carriage is al-
ways the full range.
[DISABLE]: The movement width varies according to the print-
ing data.
[SCAN INTERVAL]
Setting range: OFF, 0.1 to 10.0 sec. (in steps of 0.1 sec.)
Default value: OFF
This sets the ink-drying time. If problems with ink stains occur,
setting this to a longer value may improve printing quality.
[VACUUM POWER]
Setting range: AUTO, 0 to 100% (in steps of 10%)
Default value: AUTO
This adjusts the suction force of the fan installed under the platen
to make the media contact the platen.
Adjust this value when the media warps due to heat or sticks to
the platen. Increasing the value makes the suction force stronger,
but because it lowers the temperature of the platen, the media may
become difficult to warm.
[AUTO]: The suction force is adjusted automatically according to
the width of media. Set this menu item to [AUTO] normally.
[0 to 100%] (in steps of 10%): The suction force remains constant
at the set value.
[SLEEP] > [INTERVAL]
Setting range: 15 to 120 min. (in steps of 15 min.)
Default value: 30 min.
This sets the time until the machine enters the sleep mode.

[SLEEP] > [SETTING]
Setting range: ENABLE, DISABLE
Default value: ENABLE
This sets whether the power-saving feature is enabled.
When set to [ENABLE], the machine enters the sleep mode when
the time set with the [INTERVAL] menu item is reached.
[FACTORY DEFAULT]
This returns all menu settings to their original values when shipped
from the factory. For more about the factory defaults for the vari-
ous settings, see the "Default value" entry for each menu setting
in this section.
[SYSTEM REPORT]
This prints the current status of settings and other system infor-
mation.
[ENV. MATCH]
This performs automatic adjustment on the machine to obtain a
state optimized to the operating environment (temperature and
humidity).
[PREFEED]
Setting range: DISABLE, ENABLE
Default value: DISABLE
This specifies whether the media prefeed function is enabled.
When set to [ENABLE], an amount of media equal to the size of
the data sent from the computer is fed out first, and then printing
or cutting is performed.
When using the [PREFEED] function, set [EDGE DETECTION]
to [ENABLE].
[CUTTING PRIOR]
Setting range: COMMAND, MENU
Default value: COMMAND
When set to [COMMAND], cutting conditions set with a program
are to be given priority.
When set to [MENU], cutting is performed using the values set
with the machine.
[REPLACE KNIFE]
This setting is used when replacing the separating knife, or when
installing or removing the media-cutting blade.
