Settings item Settings value Explanation
Platen Gap 1.2
This is displayed when Custom Paper is selected in Paper Type.
When registering Custom Paper, this is the Platen Gap (distance
between print head and paper) for the paper selected in Change
Reference Paper, so it does not normally need to be changed.
Change this to a setting that will widen the gap (a higher value) if
print results are smeared.
1.6
2.1
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.
Paper Size Check
On
*
This is 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.
