Heating the Media to Prevent It from Coming Loose

This machine's apron is equipped with a front heater (), which heats the media. Heating the media makes it flexible, preventing the media from coming loose from the platen. You can adjust the temperature settings to match the type of media and the printing speed.

WARNING

High Temperature

Areas such as the heater become hot. Exercise caution to avoid burns.

WARNING

Remove any loaded media or switch off the sub power when printing is not being performed.

The continued application of heat at a single location may cause the release of toxic gases from the media or pose a fire hazard.

WARNING

Never use media that cannot withstand heat.

Doing so may degrade the media, or may result in fire or the release of toxic gases.

WARNING

Never use the heater for any purpose for which it is not intended, such as to dry clothing.

Doing so may cause overheating, resulting in fire or accident.

IMPORTANT

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. To obtain stable printing results, however, use the machine in an environment with an ambient temperature of 20°C to 32°C (68°F to 89.6°F).
