Cutting Configuration Menu - Roland SP-300 User Manual

[MEDIA CLAMP]
Setting range: LONG, SHORT, NONE
Default value: SHORT
This makes the setting for the type of media clamps used.
[LONG]: Select this value when you're using the long media
clamps. Note that the long media clamps interfere with the sepa-
rating knife, so when [LONG] is selected, media-separation op-
erations are not performed.
[SHORT]: Select this value when you're using the short media
clamps.
[NONE]: Select this value when you're not using any media clamps.
[INK REMAINING]
This shows the amount of ink left after each of the ink cartridges
has been installed. The fewer the markers, the less ink is left.
If a partially used ink cartridge is removed and reinstalled, or if a
partially used ink cartridge is installed, the cartridge is taken to be
unused, and the displayed amount of remaining ink is not true.
[HEAD CLEANING] > [MEDIUM]
This performs cleaning of the printing heads. This performs clean-
ing that is more powerful than the cleaning carried out by press-
ing the [CLEANING] key. If no improvement is obtained by per-
forming cleaning several times using the [CLEANING] key, then
execute this menu item.
This cleaning causes more head wear and uses up more ink than
cleaning using the [CLEANING] key, so you should execute it
only as seldom as necessary.
[HEAD CLEANING] > [POWERFUL]
This performs cleaning of the printing heads. This performs clean-
ing that is more powerful than the cleaning carried out by using
[MEDIUM]. If no improvement is obtained by performing clean-
ing several times using [MEDIUM], then execute this menu item.
This cleaning causes more head wear and uses up more ink than
cleaning using [MEDIUM], so you should execute it only as sel-
dom as necessary.
