Step 10: Configuring the Settings to Dry the Trailing Edge of the Printing Area

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. Tap AP-640_Panel_Icon_Toggle_ON to turn the setting on or off.
    Drying Feed This setting applies to output data designed only for printing. The margin between the print-end position and the next print-start position is set to a value of 130 mm (5.12 in.) when Extended Dryer is set to Disable and 310 mm (12.2 in.) when it is set to Enable.
    AP-640_Panel_Icon_Toggle_ON (On) Media feed is performed until the trailing edge of the printing area is positioned on the dryer.
    VG3_Panel_Icon_Toggle_OFF (Off) Media feed stops when printing ends. This means that the trailing edge of the printing area is not fed to the dryer unless you continue with a subsequent printing operation.
  2. Tap AP-640_Panel_Icon_MINUS or AP-640_Panel_Icon_PLUS to set the Drying Feed drying time.
