Paper Suction -4 to +3 It is important to choose the appropriate amount of suction for the
paper used in order to maintain the correct distance between the
paper and print head. Choosing too high a value for thin or soft
paper will increase the distance between the paper and print head
too much, causing print quality to decline or preventing the paper
feeding correctly. In such cases, you will need to lower the paper
suction. The lower the setting value, the weaker the suction power.

Drying Time
Drying Time per Pass 0.0 to 10.0
seconds (0.0
*
)
Select the time the print head pauses to allow drying after each
pass. Choose from values between 0.0 and 10.0 seconds.
Depending on the paper type, the ink may take a while to dry. If the
ink blurs on the paper, set a longer time for drying the ink.
Increasing the drying time increases the time needed to print.
Drying Time per Page 0.0 to 60 minutes
(0.0
*
)
Specify how long the printer pauses to allow the ink to dry after
printing each page; choose from values between 0.0 and 60
minutes. Depending on the ink density or paper type, the ink may
take a while to dry. If the ink blurs on the paper, set a longer time
for drying the ink. The longer the drying time, the more time
required for printing.
Paper Size Check
On
*
Displayed when Custom Paper is selected in Paper Type. Select
whether to detect (On) or not detect (Off) the paper width when
paper is loaded. Try choosing Off if a paper setting error is
displayed even though the paper is correctly loaded. Note,
however, that the printer may print outside the paper when Off is
selected. If it prints beyond the edges of the paper, the inside of
the printer becomes dirty with ink. We generally recommend using
the printer with this set to On.
The changes are applied after the paper is reloaded. Note that they
are not applied if you just change the menu items.
Off
Auto Cut
On
*
Select whether to automatically cut (On) or not cut (Off) using the
built-in cutter as each page is printed on roll paper. Set On to
automatically cut the edge if it is not a horizontal cut when paper is
loaded. The setting selected with the printer driver takes priority
when the printer driver is used.
