  • Page 19: Loading Media

    2-2 Loading Media About the Ambient Temperature During Heater Use To ensure stable printing quality, we recommend use in an environment where the ambient temperature is 20˚C (68˚F) or higher. At low temperatures, warm-up may take a long time, or the temperature may fail to reach the preset value, or large differences in temperature may occur.
  • Page 20: Printing And Cutting

    2-3 Printing and Cutting Printing Before performing printing, set the preset temperature to 40˚C (104˚F) and wait until media becomes sufficiently warm. For information on how to perform printing, refer to the user's manual for the printer. The recommended ambient temperature for ensuring acceptable quality when performing printing is 20 to 32˚C (68 to 89.6˚F). When the ambient temperature is less than 20˚C, the media doesn't heat up enough to ensure acceptable quality.
  • Page 21: Cutting/Printing And Cutting

    Cutting/Printing and Cutting This section explains printers equipped with a cutting function. Do not use the media clamps during cutting. Assurance of Accuracy When Performing Printing and Cutting When the heater is used, the media may experience subtle deformation due to thermal expansion or contraction. For this reason, no assurance is made with respect to the following points when the heater is used.
  • Page 22: What To Do If

    2-4 What to Do If ... The results of printing are coarse. The results of printing may be coarse when the media is not warm enough. In particular, the edges of the media tend not to become as warm as the center, which may result in ink drips or unevenness, depending on the printing data. If this happens, increase the preset temperature and perform printing again.
