Select this for paper that cannot be cut by the cutter unit.Drying TimeSpecify the time that the printer waits for ink to dry, as needed. • Off :Ejects immediately after printing finishes. • 30 sec./1 min./3 min./5 min./10 min./30 min./60 min. :Ejects after the speci- fied time has elapsed after printing finishes.Borderless PrintingConfigures whether or not to permit borderless printing. • Permit : Borderless printing is permitted. • Deny : Borderless printing is denied.

Important•Depending on the paper, there are types that cannot be cut by the cutter unit, and types that speed deterioration of the blade and cause damage to the cutter. For thick paper, hard paper, etc. do not use the cutter unit, and instead cut the roll paper using scissors, etc. after printing. In this case, select User Cut as the Automatic Cutting Settings . • If borderless printing is performed on paper where the ink drying is poor, the cutter unit may leave scratches where it touches the printed surface, or may not cut correctly. In this kind of situation, con- figure the amount of time to wait for the ink to dry after printing using Drying Time. Alternatively, if the paper cannot be cut well by the cutter, set the Automatic Cutting Settings to User Cut and cut the roll paper using scissors, etc. • Paper where borderless printing can be performed is limited by the media type and roll paper width. Refer to " Compatible Paper →P.459". • For custom paper where there is a need to set the Automatic Cutting Settings to User Cut , set the Borderless Printing to Deny . 10.

Windows Software > Media Configuration Tool >Add Custom PaperiPF83004466
Important•Because this settings imposes an upper limit on the amount of ink used during printing, the printing result might not change even if the level is changed depending on the image. • The color tone cannot be configured using the Media Configuration Tool. Although the color tone may change when the maximum ink usage is changed, at this point you should select the optimal lev- el by only focusing on bleeding and scraping of ink. If the color tone needs to be adjusted, provide an ICC color profile that matches the paper you are using, and select that ICC color profile in your soft- ware. • Depending on the maximum ink usage setting, some of the print qualities in the printer driver may become unselectable. 13. Configure Head Height and Vacuum Strength as required and click the Next button. Usually, these do not need to be set. Important• If you set the Head Height lower than the automatically set height in parentheses ( ), check that the printhead does not rub against the paper.
