Pre-heating
If the head temperature is too low in a low-temperature environment, it is recommended to
automatically raise the head temperature before commencing the print job. This is intended to
improve the print quality at low temperature. While the pre-heating continues, the icon shown
below appears at the Task tray.
Note:
If at a substantially low temperature, it may take more than 1 minute for the head temperature to
reach a sufficient level.
Holding the head temperature
The terminal features with the “pre-heating” function described above which makes the printer’s
head become warm for printing in good quality while it is used at a low temperature. However, it
takes a while before the temperature becomes an optimum temperature level. The head
temperature hold function will hold always the temperature on the head at a certain temperature
level or for a certain preset period only. This makes the pre-heating period become shorten.
Notes:
• Monitors the head temperature periodically.
• Raises the head temperature to an optimum temperature level if the temperature has not
reached yet.
• Stops the head temperature to rise if the temperature has reached to an optimum temperature
level.
• Curbs the head temperature to become a hot while the terminal is mounted on the cradle or
powered by the AC Adaptor. This is to make the installed battery pack charged.
• If once the head temperature hold function is set up enabled, it will continue to hold the
temperature even if PRNClose function is carried out (The APO function activates following
the presetting).
• The time period of holding the head temperature can be set up to either “always” or for one
hour (maximum) in increment of five minutes. The specified time period commences when
the ESC command (ESC p n) is sent last until the preset holding time elapses. The holding
time period is counted during printing but, not during suspend.
