Print
●
Displays the printing settings.
Setting values
●
YMC Level: -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3
For setting the YMC (color) concentration level.
Selecting a larger value increases the concentration level.
●
Black Level: -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3
For setting the K(Black) concentration level.
Selecting a larger value increases the concentration level.
●
Black Mode: Standard, Fine
For setting the K(Black) printing mode.
If the characters still appear faded after raising the [BlackLevel],
set to [Fine].
However, printing time required will be longer than the [Stand-
ard] setting.
●
UV Level: -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3
For setting the UV ink concentration level.
Selecting a larger value increases the concentration level.
During UV printing, card warpage may increase if the card has a
low heat resistance or under an environment with high temperature.
●
PO Level: -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3
For setting the concentration level of the peel- off ink.
Selecting a larger value increases the concentration level.
Retransfer
●
Displays the retransfer mode settings.
Setting values
●
Temp Level: -2, -1, 0, 1, 2
For setting the retransfer roller temperature.
Selecting a larger value increases the temperature.
Retransfer may fail depending on the card used. If retransfer fails,
raise the setting to the next higher value.
A higher retransfer roller temperature helps to enhance card retransfer, but the stronger heat may also cause the card to deform.
If the printer is not initialized after changing the temperature setting, temperature is adjusted after the printing operationstarts.
●
Speed (Front): -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2
For setting the surface retransfer speed.
Selecting a larger value increases the speed.
Retransfer may not be successful for some parts of thecard depending on the card used. Lowering the setting value helps to enhance retransfer, but the stronger heat may also cause the card to
deform.
●
Speed (Back): -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2
For setting the rear surface retransfer speed.
Selecting a larger value increases the speed.
Some types of cards may warp during double-sided printing. If
card warpage occurs, raise the setting to the next higher value.
●
MG Peel Mode: Standard, MG Stripe
For setting the method for peeling the retransfer film.
●
Standby Mode: Front wait, Back wait
For setting the laminator standby position.
Select whether to standby at the front or rear surface during double-sided printing.
Bend Remedy
●
Displays the warpage correction mode settings.
Setting values
●
Temp Level: -5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, off
For setting the warpage correction roller temperature.
Selecting a larger value increases the temperature.
If the printer is not initialized after changing the temperature setting, temperature is adjusted after the printing operationstarts.
●
Speed: -2, -1, 0, 1, 2
For setting the warpage correction mode speed.
Selecting a larger value increases the speed.
Heat Roller
●
Displays the settings of the power save mode or low temperature
standby mode.
Setting values
●
Power Saving: 5 mins, 10 mins, 15 mins, 20 mins, 25 mins,
30mins, 45 mins, 60 mins, off
For setting the time of the power save mode.
While in the [Ready] mode, if the printer is not operated during a
specific time interval, the retransfer roller, warpage correction
roller, and backlight of the operation panel are turned off to save
power.
