    Specifying the Ink Drying Time for Rolls
    Specifying the Ink Drying Time for Rolls
    When you are using paper that takes longer for ink to adhere, ink may be transferred onto the paper surface during
    ejection, soiling it. In that case, you may be able to improve the condition by setting the time to wait for the ink to dry
    after printing.
    Note
    •If the Cutter touches the print surface on which the ink is not dry, the paper surface may become scratched or soiled, or thepaper surface may rub when the paper falls and the surface may become soiled.To wait for the ink to dry without allowing printed documents to fall after printing, set Cutting Mode on the menu of the printerto Eject.

For this paper, we recommend keeping the presetcutting mode.•If documents printed using Automatic, Eject, or manual cutting are short, rolls are advanced a specific amount before cuttingto prevent problems with cutting and paper ejection. This may create a wider bottom margin, in some cases.
