Media Suction
While printing, the printer uses suction to provide the pressure needed to maintain the
correct distance between the media and the print head; the amount of pressure required
varies with the type of media. Less suction is used for thin media that would not print or
feed correctly at high levels of suction.
1. Use the d/u buttons to select Media Suction and press the Z button.
2. Use the d/ u buttons to choose a value.
3. Select the desired option and press the Z button.
4. Press the y button to return to the customize settings menu.
Note:
Adjust heater temperature as follows:
❏Set the heaters to the temperatures recommended in the documentation provided with the
media, if available.
❏Raise the temperature if the print results are blurred or smudged or the ink clots. Note,
however, that raising the temperature too high can cause the media to shrink, wrinkle, or
deteriorate.
