NOTE

(1) Image may be removed from the sides of the print if you select a narrower size on the Paper Width Selector than the actual roll media width. If you select a narrower size than the installed width, the interior of the printer will become dirty with toner. And if you select a wider size than the installed width, the margin on both sides will become wider. Please set this correctly when installing a new roll of media.

(2) Each material type has the best temperature for fusing to fix the toner. The printer controls the temperature based on the setting on the Media Selector. The toner may easily removed from the media if you make a wrong media

selection and incorrect media information is sent to the scanner and controller.

Please set media information correctly when you install a new roll.

3. 1 Changing the Density Level

If you would like to make the image darker or lighter, you will change the density level on the scanner or controller. After specifying the density level on the scanner or controller, it is also possible to compensate the image density on the printer, if needed.

job

MENU ENTER TEST

When density level 3 is selected (3rd from left lights), the density level specified on the scanner or controller is used without any compensation.

To make the image darker, select the density level 4. To make it lighter, select the level 2. To make it much lighter, select the level 1. (Press the Density Selection Key to change the density level.)

NOTE

If you change the density level on the scanner or controller, you can make the image darker or lighter without any compensation on the printer. We strongly recommend you to adjust the density level on the scanner or controller rather than on the printer.

3. 2 Dehumidifying the Roll Media

If the roll media has too much moisture, the toner may not be fixed correctly to the media. It may be easily removed from the media. If the room is much humidified, turn on the Dehumidify Heater to dehumidify the interior of the printer.

There is a Dehumidify Heater Switch (A) inside of the machine. Press “H” to turn on the Dehumidify Heater.

1) Lift up the Lever of the Internal Transportation Unit.

2) Open the Manual Table.

3) Pull out the Upper Frame Unit to your side.

Chapter 3 Advanced Operations 3-3

NOTE

(1) There are several dehumidifying settings which can be set by the service personnel. When these setting determine, the dehumidifier functions. With any setting, the printer must be plugged in and the switch noted above must be in the “ON” position.

Call your service personnel if you would like to change the switch setting.

Note that the user can not change the setting.

(2) To achieve the best image quality, we recommend that you use media that is unpacked from the manufacture right before installing it into the printer. If media is unpacked long before installation, poor image quality may occur.

(3) Re-appearance of image (solid black image especially) may occur if you print with a humidified film. When film is installed and the humidity is high (higher than 60%RH), we recommend that you turn on the Dehumidify Heater.

3. 3. 5 User Mode 4: Cold Sleep Timer Setting Mode

This mode allows you to set Cold Sleep Timer.

Reference

The purpose of Cold Sleep Mode is to reduce the power consumption by shutting off to supply the power to the heater unit. It can save more power than Warm Sleep Mode. The temperature of the heater unit is about 140 degrees centigrade when the Starprint 6000 is ready. But if no print job or copy job is sent for a long time, it is best for saving the power to stop supplying the power to the heater unit completely.

The Cold Sleep Mode will be cancelled automatically if only you send a print job or a copy job from the outer device. However, please understand it takes a little long time to recover from the Cold Sleep Mode because it is necessary to raise the temperature again up to about 140 degrees. (Print does not start until the Starprint 6000 gets ready.)

Reference

When both the Cold Sleep Function and the Warm Sleep Function are effective, their functions work as follows; (Both timers start simultaneously.) As for the Warm Sleep Function, refer to page 3-14 to 3-16.

<Example 1> In case that the Warm Sleep Timer sets 15 minutes and the Cold Sleep Timer sets 30 minutes, the printer will go into the warm sleep mode in 15 minutes after printing. And the printer will go into the Cold Sleep Mode in 15 minutes after the printer goes into the Warm Sleep Mode.

<Example 2> In case that the Warm Sleep Timer sets 30 minutes and the Cold Sleep Timer sets 15 minutes, the printer will go into the Cold Sleep Mode in 15 minutes after printing. In this case, the Warm Sleep Function is ineffective.
