2 Product Overview
2.1 Introduction
This chapter explains the features of the 8264E and 8254E printers along with the name and function of
each part.
2.2 Features
This section explains the main features of the 8264E and 8254E printers.
(1) High-speed output
The new type print head achieves high-speed output.
8264E - The print head can print up to 1,615mm (64.6") in width.
2 Product Overview
8254E - The print head can print up to 1,355.5mm (54.2") in width when set up for one-way printing or
up to 1,336.5mm (53.5") when set up for two-way printing.
(2) Wide variety of compatible media
The print head is adjustable to two levels of height and can print over a range of media thickness.
The print head can print onto media between 0.08 and 0.30mm in thickness.
(3) Vibrant color reproduction
Four colors of ink are used for printing in order to reproduce sharp and vivid colors. This 8254E uses
220ml large-capacity solvent ink cartridges. The 8254E can use 220ml or 440ml cartridges. Each
cartridge contains a dedicated IC (integrated circuit) chip. This chip can control the quantity of ink used
for printing, improving productivity.
Use of variable dots can also improve color reproduction.
(4) Multiple heaters
The media heating system developed for the 8264E and 8254E series printers is designed for solvent ink.
Heaters are installed at three locations (before the platen, at the platen, and after the platen), allowing
solvent ink to fix better on the media and to dry more quickly.
(5) Effective use of media
An "origin" feature is provided to allow setting of the print starting position as required. Printing can be
performed on media that has already been printed. This allows effective use of left margins.
