We recommend that the front heater, the print heater and the rear heater be set to lower than 50 °C, 45 ° C and 50 °C, respectively.
NOTE When the print heater temperature is set to high, fixing of the ink on the media is improved, but media wrinkle or mat print may be caused. Adjust heater temperature according to the media type and environmental temperature.
When the print heater temperature is set to high, the printer may print at low speed to ensure stable print quality.
Set the front/rear heater temperature 5 °C higher than the print heater temperature. Bad temperature balance between the front/rear heater and print heater may cause the media to wrinkle.
Flow of heater temperature setting
1.If you select the media type when loading the media, the temperature value applies as follows:
●If the initial temperature value has been set, the heater turns on but heating does not start.
●If the initial temperature value is set to **, the heater turns off.
2.If the printing job data are sent from the host (PC), either of the following operations is performed before the print starts:
a.If the HEATER PREF set for the media is SOFTWARE:
●The temperature set in the RIP (print data, job) overwrites the temperature set in the printer, and the heating starts. Heating does not start if the temperature value is set to OFF.
●If the temperature is not set in the RIP (print data, job), heating starts with the temperature set in the printer.
b.If the HEATER PREF set for the media is HEAT PANEL:
●The temperature set in the RIP is ignored and heating starts with the temperature set in the printer.
3.Printing starts when the current temperatures of the front, print, and rear heaters all reach the value exceeding set temperature
If the current temperature is higher than the set temperature, printing starts without waiting for the temperature to drop. Even after printing has started, the temperature control makes sure that the heaters maintain the set temperature.
4.During printing, the temperature can be adjusted by using the HEATER key, and then selecting the rear, front or print heater, and using the or keys to change the temperature.
