Setting the Print Heater Temperature

Setting the temperature of the print heater appropriately improves ink adhesion and inhibits smudging.

  • With the default settings, simply switching on the power does not make the dryer warm up to the set temperature. The temperature rises to the set temperature when the media is loaded correctly and [SETUP] lights.

  • Depending on the usage environment, the temperature of the print heater may become higher than the set temperature, but this does not represent a problem.

  • Temperature settings are not possible when heater settings "POWER" is set to "OFF".

    If the ink forms lumps or smudges, raise the temperature. Note, however, that a temperature that is too high may degrade the media or cause it to wrinkle.
