Drying the Trailing Edge of the Printing Area on the Dryer

To dry the ink thoroughly, configure the settings so that the media is fed until the trailing edge of the printed area is put on the dryer after the printing is finished.
Procedure
  1. Set up the media.
  2. Click AP-640_Panel_Icon_MENU.
  3. Select the Enable Drying Feed after Printing or Enable Drying Feed after Printing and Cutting check box under List of Media Settings - Dry After Printing.
    MEMO

    With one of these check boxes selected, media is fed until the trailing edge of the printing area is on top of the dryer.

    With these check boxes cleared, the machine stops feeding the media when printing finishes. This means that the trailing edge of the printing area is not fed to the dryer unless you continue with a subsequent printing operation.
