The heater preset temperature for each media type is listed below. Preset the heater temperature
according to the media you use.

We recommend that the front heater, the print heater and the rear heater be set to lower than 50 °C, 45 °
C and 50 °C, respectively. When the print heater is set to higher than 45 °C, we recommend setting the
printhead motion mode to HIGHLIGHT.
NOTEWhen the print heater temperature is set too high, fixing of the ink on the media is
improved, but media wrinkle or mat print may be caused. Adjust heater temperature according
to the media type and environmental temperature.
When the print heater temperature is set to high, the printer may print at low speed to ensure
stable print quality.
Set the front/rear heater temperature 5 °C higher than the print heater temperature. Bad
temperature balance between the front/rear heater and print heater may cause the media to
wrinkle.

							Flow of heater temperature setting
1.If you select the media type when loading the media, the initial temperature value of each heater
for that media is set on the heater front panel:
●If the initial temperature value has been set, the heater turns on but heating does not start.
●If the initial temperature value is set to **, the heater turns off. The set temperature on the
heater front panel displays OFF.
2.If the printing job data are sent from the host (PC), either of the following operations is performed
before the print starts:
a.If the HEATER PREF set for the media is SOFTWARE:
●The temperature set in the RIP (print data, job) overwrites the temperature set on the
heater front panel, and the heating starts. Heating does not start if the temperature value
is set to OFF.
●If the temperature is not set in the RIP (print data, job), heating starts with the
temperature set on the heater front panel.
b.If the HEATER PREF set for the media is HEAT PANEL:
●The temperature set in the RIP is ignored and heating starts with the temperature set on
the heater front panel.
3.Printing starts when the current temperatures of the front, print, and rear heaters all reach the
value exceeding set temperature –2 °C.
If the current temperature is higher than the set temperature, printing starts without waiting for the
temperature to drop. Even after printing has started, the temperature control makes sure that the
heaters maintain the set temperature.
4.During printing, the temperature can be adjusted by using the heater ▲or ▼ keys on the heater
front panel.
Even after printing has finished, the changed temperature is applied as the set temperature.
5.The print job returns to step (2).
To set the initial temperature value of front, print, and rear heaters, and the HEAT PREFsetting (heater),
see Tell me about... 
The MEDIA REG menu.
HintThe heater front panel displays the set heater temperature in all cases.
Temperature control
The following tables describe how heater temperature is controlled.
Maintaining the preset temperature
Function: To heat the media to reduce the ink drying time, improve fixing of ink to media, and to protect
media from media wrinkling.

							Status:Status of maintaining each heater temperature at the preset temperature on the heater front
panel.
Conditions: 1. If the heater ON/OFF setting on the heater front panel is set to ON and a print command
is received.
2. Under condition (1) above, and the time specified by the delay time after the print end
command was received.
Maintaining the standby temperature
Function:To shorten the time needed to reach the preset temperature to start printing.
Status:Status of maintaining the heater temperature at the specified standby temperature (35 °C) for
all heaters.
When the preset temperature is lower than the specified standby temperature (35 °C), the
printer maintains the preset temperature.
Conditions: If the standby time has been set, after reaching the preset temperature.
Turning off the heaters
Function:To prevent excessive current consumption, to protect the media from damage by the heat
from the heaters, and to protect the user from getting burned from touching the heaters when
printing is not performed.
Status:Status of reaching the environmental temperature slowly.
Conditions: In all cases except when maintaining the preset temperature or the standby temperature.
Start of heating:The print start command is received and heating starts. Printing does not start until the heaters
have reached the preset temperature.
Start of print:The heaters reach the preset temperature and printing starts.
End of print: The print end command is received and printing finishes.
