2. Important Notes on Usage
Limitations of the SP-300S (Sublimation-ink Model)
Type of Usable Media Clamps
Use the long media clamps to secure the dedicated sublimation-ink media in place.
The default setting for the [MEDIA CLAMP] menu item is [LONG]. When the [MEDIA CLAMP] menu item is set to
[LONG], media-cutoff operations cannot be performed.
Limitations for Crop Marks
When dedicated inks are used in combination with dedicated media, crop marks cannot be detected automatically.
When using crop marks, perform alignment manually.
Cutting Features
The dedicated media is not suited to cutting.
Using the Printing Heater and Dryer
The printing heater and dryer are set to [OFF] by default.
Attempting to heat dedicated media by printing heater and dryer may cause it to warp and strike the printing heads,
resulting in malfunction.
The [FULL WIDTH S] Menu Item
The default setting for the [FULL WIDTH S] menu item is [DISABLE]. This makes the printing carriage move during
printing over a distance determined by the range of the printing data.
Cleaning Cartridges
The “SP-300 User's Manual” describes SOL INK cleaning cartridges, but these cannot be used by the SP-300S (sublimation-ink model).
When relocation of the machine or the like makes head cleaning necessary , be sure to use "Cleaning liquid" (for water soluble) use from Roland DG Corp. (sold separately).
