Paper presets
Each supported paper type has its own characteristics. For optimum print-quality, the printer changes
the way it prints on each different paper type. For example, some may need more ink and some may
require a longer drying time. So the printer must be given a description of the requirements of each
paper type. This description is called the “paper” preset. The paper preset contains the ICC profile,
which describes the color characteristics of the paper; it also contains information on...

The uses of a multiroll printer
A multiroll printer can be useful in several different ways:

This enables you to save paper by printing smaller images on narrower paper.
●If you load two identical rolls into the printer, you can leave it printing unattended for a long time,
because it can switch from one roll to the...

Select print quality
The printer has various print-quality options because best-quality printing requires some loss of
speed, while fast printing implies some reduction in print quality.
Therefore, the standard print-quality selector is a slider that allows you to choose between quality and
speed. With some paper types, you can choose a compromise position between the two.
Alternatively, you can select from the custom options: Best, Normal and Fast. If you select Fast, you
can also select Economode,...
