“Appendix”.

2.3.3.1. Rockhopper II 2 heater printers

Heater element Temperature Function

Pre-heater (Heater A) 20 – 50°C

→ Open the pores to make the media more receptive

for eco-solvent plus ink.

Dryer (Heater D) 20 – 50°C

→ Applying heating immediately after printing

improves ink/media anchorage.

→ The dryer helps to make the media touch-dry before

it reaches the automatic take-up system.

There have been a number of requests from the field, asking the heaters to be on by default for a few user

settings. This has now been implemented as follows:

1) For user 1 and user 8 default settings are as follows:

a. Pre heater A: 50°C

b. Dryer D: 50°C

2) For users 2 Î 7, by default the heaters are still OFF.

Notes :

• Please note some RIP software do not allow selection of the user from software

side. In some cases, however, they do automatically activate user 8
