Setting the Dryer Temperature

Setting the temperature of the dryer appropriately makes the ink dry fast. An applicable application is changing the set temperature of registered media.

  • With the default settings, the temperature rises to the Standby Heater Temperature when the power turns on. 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.

  • Temperature settings are not possible when Heater Power accessed from Media Settings - Heater Settings - Heater Temperature is off.

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

    The Heater Temperature screen appears.
  3. Check that the Heater Power check box is selected.

  4. Tap AP-640_Panel_Icon_MINUS or AP-640_Panel_Icon_PLUS to set the Dryer temperature.
    When ink drying is poor, set the temperature to a higher value. Note, however, that a temperature that is too high may degrade the media or cause it to wrinkle.
  5. Tap Save to confirm your entry.
  6. Tap AP-640_Panel_Icon_HOME to go back to the original screen.
