 For borderless print, right and left margins are 3mm each because skew detection

limit is 3mm. If the distance from the paper edge to the platen (sponge width) is less than 3mm, the maximum surplus print quantity without ink discharge onto the platen (0mm~3mm) is printable area.

Paper Feed Direction

Printable Area

 The printer detects paper width when paper is set. (If paper width detection setting

is OFF, it does not detect paper width.)

 It does not print the image beyond the detected paper width or the printable area

specified by paper size setting. (It may print on the platen if paper width detection setting is OFF.)

 Margins of roll paper can be changed on the panel as follows;

Top/bottom 15 mm, left/right 3 mm Top/bottom/left/right 3 mm Top/bottom/left/right 15 mm

NOTE:

Under special conditions, it is possible to set right and left margin (LM, RM) to 0.

1.4.3.4 Page Lines

Selecting this mode allows the user to set the page line print mode. Setup is the same as horizontal lines ON command (AC 02H 00H 00H 02H) in the automatic cutting setup. The solid line type is used.

1.4.3.5 Interface Select

Selecting this mode allows selection of the parallel, USB, or optional interface, or automatic interface selection.

1.4.3.6 Code Page Switching

Selecting this mode allows switching between PC437 and PC850 for the code page.

1.4.3.7 Roll Paper Margin

Setting this panel allows switching roll paper margin, all sides 3 mm / all sides 15 mm / top and bottom 15 mm, right and left 3 mm. This setting is only valid for roll paper. It’ s not valid for sheets. This setting change only margin, and doesn’ t change image size.

 If margin = 3 mm is set

Printing positions of vertical line and horizontal line are same as the theoretical paper size.

 If margin = 15 mm, or Top/Bottom15 mm is set

Printing positions of vertical line and horizontal line are widened by 12 mm for all sides or only top and bottom. (See Figure 1-8)

If printable area is more than X = 15 mm from the right edge of paper, the portion is clipped.

Vertical line is not printed. (See Figure 1-9)

NOTE 1: The top margin is also set with “Set the top margin” (SN command).

Actual top margin is decided as follows:

• Panel setup value (top margin)>Paper top margin (Panel setup value is used as the top margin)

• Panel setup value (top margin)<Paper top margin (Paper top margin is used as the top margin)

Under special conditions, the right / left margin can be set to 0.

1.4.3.8 Detect Paper Width

Roll Paper Width X

X (*)

Printable Area

Vertical

Line

When the paper width detection function is OFF, the printer can print on the platen if the image to be printed is bigger than the set paper (larger than borderless print area). Therefore the user must bear responsibility in selecting this function OFF setting. At paper initial feeding or print starting, the paper is fed by the distance between grid roller and #1 nozzle unconditionally. The print starts from that position. (No back-feed in the other sequences) Even when paper has too low reflection to be detected, the paper is fed so as not to print on the platen.

The same specifications are applied to sheets and auto loading.

The above-mentioned paper width detection OFF sequence is just for the first page in the case of roll paper.

The paper auto cutting function does not check whether paper is cut successfully or not.

1.4.3.9 Detect Skew Error

With PAPER NOT STRAIGHT = OFF setting, the “PAPER NOT STRAIGHT” error will not be displayed and printing will be continued.

With this setting, even if the printing image is out of paper because the paper is not straight, the printer will not inform the user of such an error. Therefore, the user must bear responsibility in selecting this function OFF setting.

NOTE: When the power is turned off without the cartridges installed, NPD=0

will be maintained.

 When switch No. 6 is OFF (dye prohibited)

 When pigment has been installed

• Sets "Ink Type" for the printer to "Pigment".

• Initial charge is started if the initial charge flag has been set.

• Every time the power is turned on after that, the printer will start as the

Pigment machine.

 When dye has been installed

• Displays "INVALID CARTRIDGE".

(The LEDs for all colors flash even when dye for only one color has been installed.)

• Does not set "Ink Type" for the printer. (NPD=0 is maintained)

• NPD=0 even at the next start of the printer.

 When switch No. 6 is ON

• Determines the ink type from the ink set that has been installed properly.

• If the printer is currently used as the dye machine (NPD=2), the printer does

not make judgment at power on. Therefore, the printer can be used as the dye machine the same way as before.

• Even when "Ink Type" is changed to "Dye" directly in NPD mode, the printer

can be used as the dye machine.

1.6.4 Supplements

PREVENTION HOSTS FROM DATA TRANSFER TIME-OUT

When data is received from the parallel interface or the type B interface while no error has occurred (including the pause condition), the printer receives data a rate of 2 byte/ second while buffer free space is less than 16 kbytes in order to prevent host timeout. When buffer free space is more than 32kbytes, the 2 byte/second receive rate is cleared, and receive is halted when free space reaches 16 bytes, and returns to the 2 byte/second rate when free space reaches 512 kbyte or more.

INTERFACE SELECTION

The printer has the parallel interface, the USB interface, the optional interface. These interfaces are selected manually by the default setting mode or selected automatically.

 Manual selection

One of 3 interfaces can be selected; the parallel interface, the USB interface, the optional interface.

 Automatic selection

Select a interface which the printer received data first after power ON. If it passes 10 seconds after interruption of data receiving, it will be idle status (any interface is not selected) and will select a interface which the printer received data first.

 Interface state and interface selection

 When the parallel interface is not selected, the interface goes into the busy

status. Only reverse communication can be done at this time.

 When the printer is initialized or returned to the idle state, the parallel

interface becomes ready status, the USB interface becomes non NACK reply status, and the option interface resets OFF-LINE bit of Main Status Register (MNSTS).

 INIT signal on the parallel interface is not effective while that interface is not
