Print mode and special printing This section describes details of print modes and overview of special printing such as double-sided printing. Print modes The print modes are classified into six as follows. Choose a print mode according to media type, productivity, and print quality. Print mode Feature Explanation Print speed*1 Print Max. print resolution density*2 (dpi) DRAFT1 Fastest mode This print mode emphasizes ((((( productivity.
-
Print mode and special printing – *1 The values indicate the speed to print on 2.5m-width roll media across the full width. The former value indicates the 8-color print speed, and the latter, the 4-color one. – *2 The max. print density shows a reference for the max. print density obtained by the printer. With the actual print, density is obtained by the RIP profile's color management. At DENSITY2 mode for backlit media, normally the whole image is printed with a slightly high density.
-
Double-sided printing For convenience of explanation on the double-sided printing below, the side printed first is referred to as "first side" and the side printed next is referred to as "2nd side." The following procedure is described for the case to print the first side of the media, reinstall the media to the roll feed unit for each scroller that mound the media, and then print the 2nd side of the media. First-side printing Scroller moves 2nd-side printing Move 1 Install the media.
-
Double-sided printing 4 When printing is completed, open the front cover and cut the media. At the end of the first-side printing, two lines are printed. One line is a reference solid line to match print positions on the first and 2nd sides. The other line is a reference dashed line for cutting. Cut the media at the supply side leaving these two lines. – We recommend you to insert the blade of a box cutter into the gap between the platen and the paper guide to cut the media.
-
7 Slacken the media with the media feed switch and insert the end of the media into the paper feeder. Paper feeder Rear side of printer (supply side) Insert the media while smoothing out the media to both sides by hand to prevent wrinkles. If it is hard to insert the media end into the paper feeder due to a curl of the media, interpose an interleaf and insert the media end under the interleaf. Note – If the media is set with a distortion or wrinkles, this may cause a media jam or skew.
