Points To Check Before Performing Output; Making The Temperature Setting For The Heaters - Roland SP-300 User Manual

3-1 Points to Check Before Performing Output

Do not touch the platen when the heater is operating.
Doing so may cause burns because the platen is hot.
Before starting printing or cutting, make sure the following points have been carried out.
• Media is loaded and a blade is installed.
• The front cover is closed.
• The [SETUP] light and the [HEATER CONFIG] light are illuminated.
When media setup finishes, the display shows the printable or cuttable width (top menu).
W 550 mm
When the top menu appears, check the settings for the following items to ensure that correct printing or cutting is
possible.

Making the Temperature Setting for the Heaters

To set the heater temperature, press the [HEATER CONFIG] key then follow the steps below to make the setting.
The printing heater warms the media before printing, improving ink adhesion.
The drier warms the media after printing, making the ink dry more rapidly.
You can set the temperature either to "OFF" or to a value from 35 to 50ºC [40 to 122ºF] (in steps of 1ºC [2ºF]). Adjust the
temperature to a suitable value matched to the type of media and the ambient environment. In particular, when you're using the
machine in a low temperature environment, it may be a good idea to set the preset temperature to a slightly high value.
You can change the setting for the heater temperature even when printing is in progress or when no media is loaded.
If the software you're using is provided with a feature for setting the heater temperature, you can use your software to adjust the
temperature. For information on how to do this, refer to the documentation for your software.
