What Is the Media Heating System?
This machine is equipped with a media heating system that warms the media. You use this mainly to improve ink adhesion and dry the ink. You can adjust the temperature settings to match the type of media and the printing speed.

High temperatures
The platen and dryer become hot. Exercise caution to avoid burns.
When output is not being performed, remove any loaded media or switch off the sub power.
The continued application of heat at a single location may cause the release of toxic gases from the media or pose a fire hazard.
Never use media that cannot withstand heat.
Doing so may degrade the media, or may result in fire or the release of toxic gases.
Never use the platen or dryer for any purpose for which they are not intended, such as to dry clothing.
Doing so may cause overheating, resulting in fire or accident.
Use the machine in an environment with an ambient temperature of 20 to 32°C (68 to 90°F).
If the machine is used at an ambient temperature lower than 20°C (68°F), then depending on the type or width of the media, wrinkling or temperature-caused unevenness may occur. If this happens, try lowering the temperature of the media heating system by about 2°C (3.6°F). To obtain stable printing results, however, use the machine in an environment with an ambient temperature of 20 to 32°C (68 to 90°F).
By using an auxiliary drying unit, you can speed up the drying of the ink more. For information about purchasing an auxiliary drying unit, contact your authorized Roland DG Corporation dealer or visit our website (http://www.rolanddg.com/).
