The following settings are available for Far End Margin.

 

 

 

 

Far End Margin

Setting

 

 

 

 

5 mm

For media that has no problem when

 

 

printing with a standard size margin.

 

10 mm

When printing an image at the very end

 

 

of the end margin, the cutter touches the

 

 

page before the ink has dried and dirties

 

 

the printed image. This setting sets the

 

 

margin about 5 mm (in the feed

 

 

direction) longer than the standard

 

 

margin for the media size.

Important

When you set the margin smaller, the printed image may not print properly or, with some media, the printhead may scratch the surface.

c.From the Printhead Height Adjustment Lever Setting Position list in Roll Paper Margin for Safety set the position of the printhead height adjustment lever set with the printer to match the media.

The following settings are available for Printhead Height Adjustment Lever Setting Position.

Printhead Height

 

Adjustment Lever Setting

Setting

Position

 

Upper

For media that has a strong tendency to

 

curl, causing the printhead to scratch

 

the surface.

 

Before you start a print job, check the

 

setting of the printhead height

 

adjustment lever.

Middle (Standard)

For standard media.

 

 

Lower

Select this setting to print fine, delicate

 

lines of the highest precision as in a

 

CAD design or drawing.

 

However, the ink absorption

 

characteristics of some media may

 

cause the printing surface to ripple when

 

the ink is absorbed, causing the

 

printhead to scratch the surface of the

 

printout. You should become familiar

 

with the properties of the media and do

 

the setting and limit such printing to

 

media that will not cause rippling.

 

Example: Film, etc.

 

Before you start a print job, check the

 

setting of the printhead height

 

adjustment lever.

 

 

5.Set the thickness of the media to be added from the Media Thickness list. The following settings are available for Media Thickness.

Media Thickness

Setting

 

 

Thick

Select this when the media set is thick,

 

or when the printhead scratches the

 

surface.
