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. On completion of media setup, the temperature rises to the set value.

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

Procedure
  1. Set up the media.
  2. Tap the following location on the home screen.

    Panel_home_heater
    The Heater Temperature window appears.
  3. Tap Panel_Icon_Minus or Panel_Icon_Plus to set the Print Heater temperature.
    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.
