    FULL WIDTH S Explanation
    PRTAREA "PRTAREA" adjusts the operating range of the print heads to the preset print area.
    OFF "OFF" matches the range of print heads movement to the print data. Movement is limited to the minimum amount necessary, and this can be expected to yield the fastest printing. When this feature is used, the time needed for the ink to harden is not constant, and an uneven color may result.
    FULL (Default settings) "FULL" makes the speed of the movement of the object to be printed on constant at all times and produces the most stable printing results.

    MEMO:

    For print data whose width gradually narrows (e.g., an inverted triangle), even if "FULL WIDTH S" is set to OFF, the movement of the print heads may not match the print data. This is to prevent ink-curing failures caused by the print position and is not a malfunction.
