2-2 Loading Media
About the Ambient Temperature During Heater Use
To ensure stable printing quality, we recommend use in an environment where the ambient temperature is 20˚C (68˚F)
or higher.
At low temperatures, warm-up may take a long time, or the temperature may fail to reach the preset value, or large
differences in temperature may occur. Inadequate temperature may result in coarse printing.
If the media fails to warm up sufficiently, try setting the heater to a higher temperature. If this fails to resolve the
problem, raise the temperature of the room.
Points to Observe When Loading Media
Check and observe the following points when loading media. For detailed information on how to load media, refer to
the user's manual for the printer.
Use Media With a Width of about 1 m (40 in.) or More
We recommend using media having a width of about 1 m (40 in.) or more. Media of narrower width may take a long
time to heat, or may fail to reach the preset temperature.
Also, in no event should media having a width of 50 cm (19-11/16 in.) or less be used. Doing so may lead to danger of
overheating.
Before Loading Media, Allow the Heater to Cool Down to 30˚C (86˚F) or Lower
Before loading media, switch off the controller or set the preset temperature to 30˚C and allow the heater to cool down.
Loading media when the heater is 30˚C (86˚F) or more may cause the media to wrinkle or warp due to the sudden rise
in temperature.
When Printing, Use the Media Clamps
Set the height of the printing heads to either "Middle" or "High," then engage the media clamps. Depending on the
media, the edges of the media may warp due to heat or the media may strike the printing heads, causing jams or
malfunction.
Page 20
18
2. Using the Heater Unit
2-3 Printing and Cutting
Printing
Before performing printing, set the preset temperature to 40˚C (104˚F) and wait until media becomes sufficiently warm.
For information on how to perform printing, refer to the user's manual for the printer.
1
After loading media, set [SV] on the controller to 40˚C.
It may take from few minutes to approximately 30 minutes to reach the
preset temperature, depending on the ambient temperature.
2
To heat the media sufficiently, wait for five minutes after
making sure that the [PV] on the controller reaches 40˚C.
Then perform printing.
The recommended ambient temperature for ensuring acceptable quality when performing printing is 20 to 32˚C (68 to 89.6˚F).
When the ambient temperature is less than 20˚C, the media doesn't heat up enough to ensure acceptable quality. In such cases,
set the preset temperature to higher value.
The setting range of preset temperature by the controller is 30 to 50˚C ( 86 to 122˚F).
Performing printing as soon as the heater temperature reaches 40˚C may result in coarse printing because the media is not warm
enough.
When the heater reaches the preset temperature, the [C1] indicator goes dark and the heater stops operating. The heater is
switched on and off automatically to maintain the preset temperature. Meanwhile the [C1] indicator lights up and goes dark to
indicate the status of the heater.

2. Using the Heater Unit
Cutting/Printing and Cutting
This section explains printers equipped with a cutting function.
Assurance of Accuracy When Performing Printing and Cutting
When the heater is used, the media may experience subtle deformation due to thermal expansion or contraction. For this
reason, no assurance is made with respect to the following points when the heater is used.
• Distance accuracy (when cutting)
• Repetition accuracy (when cutting)
• Repetition between printing and cutting
• Alignment accuracy for printing and cutting when reloading media
To Perform Cutting Only
Before performing cutting, switch off the controller to turn off the heater, and allow the platen to cool sufficiently.
Do not use the media clamps during cutting.
Using crop marks when performing printing and cutting, even when these are performed simultaneously, may help reduce
misalignment. After printing, it is a good idea to allow the heater to cool before performing cutting.
1. Carry out only printing, with crop marks.
2. Switch off the controller to turn off the heater, and allow the media and platen to cool sufficiently.
3. Use the crop marks to align.
4. Carry out only cutting.
For detailed information about aligning using crop marks, refer to the user's manual for the printer.
Page 22

2. Using the Heater Unit
2-4 What to Do If ...
The results of printing are coarse.
The results of printing may be coarse when the media is not warm enough. In particular, the edges of the media tend not
to become as warm as the center, which may result in ink drips or unevenness, depending on the printing data. If this
happens, increase the preset temperature and perform printing again. If the printing results don't improve even when you
increase the preset temperature, the ambient temperature may be too low. Be sure to perform printing in the recommended operating environment.
Setting the [SCAN INTER VAL] menu item for the printer may improve printing quality. Please refer to "3-2 Additional
Menus on the Printer."
Media wrinkles when performing printing.
Depending on the type of media, it may wrinkle when performing printing after it is left on the platen for 30 minutes to
an hour with the heater temperature at 40˚C. When you are not printing continuously, remove the media or reduce the
preset temperature to 30˚C.
Media warps before performing printing.
Depending on the type of media, it may tend to warp when there is
a large difference between the ambient temperature and the heater
temperature.
If the left and right edges of the media warp . . .
Use media clamps.
If the front edge of the media warps . . .
Reduce the heater temperature or increase the ambient temperature.
It may be possible to prevent media from warping by setting the
[VACUUM POWER] menu item of the printer. Please refer to "3-2
Additional Menus on the Printer." Front edge of the media

3-1 Daily Maintenance
Cleaning the Platen
Moisten a cloth with neutral detergent diluted with water, wring dry, and wipe gently.
For buildup of cutting dust on the platen, use a commercially available brush to brush it away toward the front. When
doing this, never use a metal brush.
Cleaning the Controller
Use a cloth moistened with water then wrung well, and wipe gently to clean. Wipe the control panel and display gently
with a clean, soft cloth.
Periodically clean the platen. Buildup of grime may soil printed media and make correct detection of media width impossible.
When cleaning the platen, first switch off the controller and the sub power for the printer.
Failure to do so may cause burns when the platen is hot.
Never clean with solvents (such as benzine or thinners).
Doing so may cause fire when the platen is hot.
Page 25

3. Other Information
Function
This sets the movement width of the printing carriage
when printing.
Using this function may improve printing quality by
maintaining a uniform speed for media feed. However,
printing may take more time.
When using the heater, be sure to set this menu item to
[FULL].
[FULL]: The movement width of the printing carriage is
always the full width.
[MEDIA]: The width changes depending on the width of
the media.
[OFF]: The width changes according to the printing data.
This sets the ink-drying time.
If problems with ink stains occur, setting this value to a
longer time may improve printing quality.
This adjusts the suction force of the fan installed under
the platen to make the media contact the platen.
Adjust this value when the media warps due to heat or
sticks to the platen. Increasing the value makes the suction force stronger, but because it lowers the temperature of the platen, the media may become difficult to
warm.
[AUTO]: The suction force is adjusted automatically
according to the width of media.
[0 to 100%] (in steps of 10%): The suction force remains
constant at the set value.
Installing the heater unit adds the following menus to the printer.
