Supply Out Detection — for roll-fed media, the printer usu- ally monitors the supply spool to detect when it runs out of

 

media. You can use this menu option to disable media out

 

detection when you keep the takeup spool pin release tool

 

(part number 0504334, see “Takeup Spool Pin Release” on

 

page 3-22 for instructions) installed for printing rather than

 

to freely pull a small amount of media from the supply.

MEDIA WIZARD

Heater Temp Settings — selects one of several pre-defined

 

temperatures, plus one custom, user-defined setting. Exces-

 

sively high heat could cause the media to deform or stick to

 

the platen, while not enough heat could result in partially

 

dried prints. For instructions, see “Setting Heater Tempera-

 

tures” on page 3-34.

MEDIA WIZARD

Platen Vacuum Control — turns on the vacuum fans, then

 

allows you to raise or lower the fan speed. Raise the speed if

 

the media is rising off the platen, lower the speed if the

 

media is buckling or wrinkling. Turn off the vacuum for light-

 

weight media such as paper or fabrics.

MEDIA WIZARD

Drying Delay — a drying delay slows throughput (media

 

advance speed) to allow prints to dry more thoroughly.

 

Select the shortest delay that permits complete drying.

 

Excess Ink Sensor — enables you to disable the excess ink

 

sensor if it is malfunctioning, or enable it after it has been

 

replaced. When the sensor in the excess ink reservoir under

 

the supply reservoirs indicates that the reservoir is full, it

 

generates an Action message on the control panel, and print-

 

ing cannot proceed. Do not disable the sensor unless a mal-

 

function erroneously prevents printing.

 

Capping Station Sensor — allows you to disable the cap-

 

ping station sensor if it is malfunctioning, or enable it after it

 

has been replaced.

 

Media Out Sensor (72SR) — allows you to disable the input

 

table’s media out sensor if it is malfunctioning, or enable it

 

after it has been replaced. Use care when printing with this

 

sensor disabled, to avoid printing on the platen or striking

 

the carriage against the media.

 

Gutter Settings — determines the appearance of the top and

 

side gutters:

 

Top Gutters — allows you to turn On or Off the gutter

 

pattern at the top edge of the print, which shows data
