Settings item Settings value Explanation
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.

(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 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
*
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.
