Description
This  shortens  printing  time  by  reducing  the  width  of  the  print-head  movement  range  to  the  minimum  necessary. This  is 
effective when the width of the media or the printing data is narrow. 
"FULL" sets the movement range of the print heads to the maximum width of loadable media.
"SHEET" matches the range of print-head movement to the width of the media. 
"OFF" matches the range of print-head movement to the printing data. Movement is limited to the minimum amount neces-
sary, and this can be expected to yield the fastest printing. 
Note, however, that the range of print-head movement is limited to the maximum scanning width that is printed. Also, the 
maximum scanning width printed is reset every time printing of a page finishes.

Preventing Soiling of the Media and Dot Drop-out During Printing
Procedure
Press.
Press
several times.
Press.
Press
several times.
Press.
Use
to select a value from "5 min" to "990 min," or 
"PAGE."
Press
to enable the setting.
Press.
Press
to go back to the original screen.
Description
Ink tends to collect on the surface of the heads when you use media prone to buildup of static charge, when the ambient 
temperature is low, or when the head height is set to “HIGH.” Under some conditions, this ink may be transferred to the media 
or cause dot drop-out. Use this feature at such times. The ink buildup is removed as printing is performed.
When this is set to "PAGE," automatic cleaning is performed every time before printing starts.
When this is set to a value from "5 min" to "990 min," automatic cleaning is performed when the cumulative printing time 
reaches the value you set here.
When this is set to "NONE," no automatic cleaning is performed.
Using "PAGE" or a value from "5 min" to "990 min," results in longer printing times. Also, when this is set to a value from "5 
min" to "990 min," printing pauses and so colors may be uneven.

2.Replace the short media clamps with the long ones. 
Remove the short media clamps.
Attach the long media clamps.
Description
When you want to hold the media in place more securely, such as when you're printing media that warps easily, use the long 
media clamps to secure the edges of the media in place. 
Note that when you're attaching the long media clamps, be sure to make the setting described above so that the media-
cutoff operation cannot be performed. Performing media cutoff with the long media clamps installed may cause the long 
media clamps to touch the separating knife, resulting in damage or malfunction. 
When the [MEDIA CLAMP] menu item is set to [LONG], media cutoff is not performed.

Align the end of the sheet media with the location shown in the figure.
Pull back the loading lever.
The sheet media is secured in place. 
If you're performing printing, attach the media clamps.
However, if the thickness of the sheet media is 0.5 millimeters or more, leave the media clamps unattached. Otherwise 
the print heads may strike the media clamps, resulting in malfunction or other problems.
2.Make sure that media feed is stable.
If any of the situations described below takes place, problems such as the print heads striking the sheet media may occur, 
resulting in malfunction or the like. Reload the sheet media. If the problem persists, the sheet media cannot be used.

Description
This lets you change, according to your purpose, the operation that takes place when an ink cartridge is empty. 
"STOP" immediately pauses operation when a cartridge becomes empty. Because pausing printing in progress may make 
colors uneven, it is best to ensure a sufficient amount of remaining ink before you begin printing. 
"CONT." (continue) is a mode in which operation is not automatically stopped. When a cartridge becomes empty, a warning 
beep sounds but printing doesn't stop. To replace the cartridge, you must either wait until printing ends or press
to 
pause printing. Note that operation does not stop even if ink runs out completely.

Adjusting Head Height to Match Media Thickness
Procedure
Press.
Press
several times.
Press.
Open the front cover.
Move the lever to adjust the height of the head.
Moving the lever to "HIGH" makes a warning beep sound twice. Moving it to "LOW" makes the warning beep sound

appears. 
Press.
Press
 to go back to the original screen.
Description 
Depending on the media, the media may be thick, or may wrinkle or come loose from the platen during printing, increasing 
the chance of contact with the print heads. When you're using such media, set [HEAD HEIGHT ] to "HIGH." 
Printing quality when [HEAD HEIGHT ] is set to "HIGH" may be coarser or otherwise lower than when set to "LOW." If this hap -
pens, refer to the pages indicated below.
