4-5 Adjustment of White Ink
Maintenance Tasks for White Ink
When white ink is used, dot drop-out or other problems that impede normal ink discharge may occur even when powerful 
cleaning  or  manual  cleaning  of  the  print  heads  has  been  performed.This  can  occur  because  the  ingredients  in  white  ink 
tend to settle, and may harden if allowed to stand for a lengthy time. If this happens, carry out the maintenance operations 
described below. 
These maintenance operations require two SOL INK cleaning cartridges. 
Procedure
Press
Pressseveral times.
Press

4-6 When Not in Use for a Prolonged Period
Keep Performing Maintenance
Switch on the power once every two weeks.
Switch on the sub power once every two weeks. When you turn on the power, the machine automatically performs some 
operations such as those to keep the print heads from drying out. Allowing the machine to stand completely unused for a 
prolonged period may damage the print heads, so be sure to switch on the power to perform these automatic operations.
Keep at a Constant Temperature and Relative Humidity
Even when the machine is not in use, keep it at a temperature of 5 to 40˚C (41 to 104˚F) and a relative humidity of 20 to 80% 
(with no condensation). Temperatures that are too high may degrade the ink and cause malfunction. Temperatures that are 
too low may cause the ink to freeze and damage the heads.
Alarm Feature
This feature is to remind you to switch on the sub power once a month. When the machine remains 
unused for about one month, this screen appears and a warning beep sounds. If this screen ap-
pears, switch on the sub power. When maintenance operations finish, switch off the sub power. 
This feature operates when the printer's main power is turned on. We recommend leaving on just the main power to the 
printer even when the machine is to remain out of use for a prolonged period.
Important Note on Draining Ink 
This machine has features for draining internal ink and for performing washing using SOL INK cleaning cartridges, but they 
should never be used except in special cases. Allowing the machine to stand without ink for a prolonged period may damage 
the heads, even if internal washing is performed. Once ink has been filled, then as a rule the ink should never be drained.

4-7 When Moving the Unit 
Procedures from Preparing to Move Through Reinstalling 
To move the machine, you must completely drain all ink inside the machine and secure the print heads in place with pack-
ing materials to protect them. Attempting to move the machine without first doing this may result in damage to internal 
components due to leaking ink or damage to the heads. 
This operation requires four unused SOL INK cleaning cartridges. Have these on hand before you start. 
For information on how to remove and attach the various items, refer to the Setup Guide. 
Important Notes on Moving
 Be sure to use SOL INK cleaning cartridges. Use of any other type may result in breakdown.\
 
 Once the preparations for moving are complete, move the machine and fill it with ink with as little delay  as possible. Allowing the machine to stand without ink may damage the print heads. 
 When moving the machine, keep it at a temperature between 5 to 40˚C (41 to 104˚F) and at relative  humidity between 20 to 80% (with no condensation). Failure to do so ma\
y result in breakdown. 
 Handle the machine with care when moving, keeping it level (not tilted at an angle) and preventing it  from striking other objects. 
1. Drain the ink and wash the interior. 
Press.
Press
several times.
Press.
Press
twice.
Press.
Press

Be sure to discard the discharged ink.
Press.
Thereafter, follow the on-screen instructions to carry out the operations. 
After cleaning has finished, the sub power is automatically switched off. 
 P. 54, "Disposing of Discharged Ink," p. 117, "Draining Ink and Performing Internal Washing"
 
2.Secure the print heads in place. 
Remove  the  drain  bottle  and  detach  the  drain-bottle  stand.  Then  attach  the  drain-tube 
cover.
Flip the loading lever to the rear. 
Secure the print heads in place using the packing material.

3.Immediately move the machine and fill it with ink. 
Once the preparations are complete, move the machine with as little dela\
y as possible. 
Immediately reinstall the machine and fill with ink. 
Referring to the Setup Guide, reinstall the machine and carry out ink-filling and other preparations. When filling with 
ink, you use the SOL INK cleaning cartridges again. The ink mode cannot be changed.

5-2 Setting the Print-start Position 
Setting the Print-start Position
Procedure
Use   to move the cutting carriage.
Align the center of the blade with the new print-start position.
 Press .
Description 
You can set the print-start position at any location you want. Note, however, that this setting returns to its default value after 
printing, and so it needs to be set separately for each page. When the start location has been set,
lights up and screen 
displays the character “B” together with the print-possible width at the position.
This feature is also available when you're printing or cutting various test patterns, and can help you use media with less waste. 
Note, however, that the left and right positions are not restored to their defaults for test patterns.
 Also, never use
 in the following cases. 
  When you're using the media take-up system 
  The media take-up system may pull the media with undue force, resulting in an error or malfunction. 
  Before or after executing feed correction 
  Slackness in the roll media can make it impossible to obtain reliable correction results. Also, slackness in the roll media after 
feed correction may cause slippage in the media's movement distance during printing, resulting in horizontal stripes.

5-3 Accommodating Various Kinds of Media
Using Transparent Media
Procedure
Press .
Press 
 several times .
Press  twice.
Use 
 to select "DISABLE."
Press  to enable the setting.
The settings are changed and the screen shown in the figure appears. 
Description
This setting enables or disables detection of the leading and trailing edges of the media. It is normally set to "ENABLE." 
When transparent media is loaded, set it to "DISABLE." When this is set to "DISABLE," the "ROLL" and "TU" selections are avail-
able during media setup.
When  [EDGE  DETECTION]  is  set  to  "DISABLE,"  the  machine  cannot  detect  when  media  runs  out.  In  such  cases,  printing 
operation does not stop when the media runs out, and there is a chance that the platen or the like may become soiled by 
ink or that ink may get inside and damage the machine. If media runs out while printing is in progress, immediately press 
 to quit printing. 
Preventing Media from Coming Loose
Procedure
Press .
Press 
 several times.
Press .
Press 
.
Press .
Use 
 to set the value.
Press 
 to enable the setting.
Press .
Press 
 to go back to the original screen.
Description
The platen uses suction to grip the media and keep it stable. When media comes loose from the platen because it is warped 
or wrinkled, increasing the suction force may help correct the problem. Conversely, when the media is flimsy and cannot 
move smoothly, reducing the suction force may help.
When set to "AUTO," the suction force is automatically adjusted to the optimal level for the media width.
You can also make this setting on the computer. When you have made the setting on the computer, the computer's setting 
is used and the printer's setting is ignored.
