Setting of Dry Time

This section explains the method of setting the time that the printer needs to wait before it starts printing or cutting the next page.

Especially, in the case of printing and cutting, ink needs to be sufficiently dried before cutting is started.

When you make output via the BN-20 driver using a general drawing application

Make the following setting in the BN-20 driver first, and then make output from the application.
Procedure
  1. Open the Devices and printers window.
    • Windows 11

      From the Start menu, click All apps - Windows Tool - Control Panel - View devices and printers.

    • Windows 10

      From the Start menu, click Windows System - Control Panel - View devices and printers.

  2. Right-click the Roland BN-20 icon, and then click Printing preferences.
    The BN-20 driver's Printing Preferences dialog box opens.
    BN-20A_DryTime
  3. Set the drying time.
    1. Select Dry Time on the Printer Adjustment tab.
      The appropriate setting time varies according to the media. Set a longer time when you use media on which it takes time to dry ink.
    2. Click OK.
      When the printer starts drying, the remaining dry time is displayed in Utility.

When you make output from VersaWorks

You can set the dry time in VersaWorks as well. For information on its setting method, refer to VersaWorks Help.

IMPORTANT When you set the dry time in VersaWorks, if Use Printer Settings is set, 0 is set to the dry time. You should note that the setting in the BN-20 driver is not reflected.
