    Printing Movement Range Description
    Output Data Width

    "OFF" matches the range of print-head carriage movement to the printing data. Movement is limited to the minimum amount necessary, and this can be expected to yield the fastest printing. When this setting is used, the time needed for the ink to harden is not constant, and an uneven color may result.
    Media Width This setting aligns the movement range of the print-head carriage with the preset printing area.
    Full Width The print-head carriage moves from one end of the machine to the other. This setting makes the speed of print-head carriage movement constant at all times and produces the most stable printing results.
