PREPARING PAPER

WAIT A MOMENT

NOTE

• When using the origin point setting function, keep front, right, and left margins sufficiently because the paper is rewinded manually.
• The paper width and base point settings cannot be saved.
• The origin point setting function can be used only for paper roll. This function cannot be used for the cut sheet.

A paper winder unit is built in the printer. It winds roll paper for storage without cutting it.

Use the paper winder unit as follows:

1 Prepare the paper tube and 1 m-lead paper of which paper width is the same as the paper's you will use.

Attach the lead paper on the paper tube.

NOTE

- Pay attention to the direction of attaching tape on the winding side according to the winding direction setting (outer side rewind/inner side rewind).

- Attach the paper to the take out roller straightly to protect slanting feed.

- The paper tube width on the winding side must be same as the width of the rolled paper to be printed.

The use of larger width may cause a winding deviation.

2 Insert the paper tube with the lead paper to the left flange.

3 Slide the right flange (movable side) and insert it into the paper tube.

4 Tighten the right flange knob securely.

5 Lift the pressure roller up/down lever, insert paper from the paper feeder, push down the pressure roller up/down lever to set the paper, and feed paper by the Feed menu on the operation panel (see Section 3, Operation Panel Menu Operations (Feed Menu)) until the paper is wound.

6 Tape the edge of the paper on the lead paper at three positions: both sides and center.

7 Manually turn the scroller flange in the direction of winding to wind the paper slightly.

8 Check the positions of the paper and winding sensor, and install it.

The winding unit supports two winding methods; tension winding and slack winding.

Generally, use the slack winding. If the slack winding does not work correctly, use the tension winding. Also, be sure to use the slack winding for glossy paper.

Also, inner winding and outer winding are available.

● Tension roller setting.

- Slack winding: Set the tension roller to the upper side.

Tension roller

Slide seven tension rollers according to the paper width.

Pure electrical circuit lines without any symbols

To slide a tension roller, loosen three slotted head screws.

NOTE

- Do not change the order of seven tension rollers, as their outside diameters are different. Changing the order will cause a skew.

• Winding unit switch setting

Either internal winding or external winding can be selected.

When the winding unit is not used, turn the winding unit switch off.

NOTE

• Slacken the paper so that it passes inside the winding sensor.
• If the winding unit is not used, turn the winding unit switch off.
• When the paper roll for the winding unit nears the diameter of the winding unit's flange, remove the winding side paper roll and replace the paper tube with a new one.
  If not so, a winding error may occur.

In case that the paper roll for the winding unit exceeds the diameter of the winding unit's flange.

- When printing without using a winding unit, edge of paper or printing surface may be damaged or be folded due to contact with the winding sensor caused by winds. Fold the winding sensor, or handle the printing surface with care.

Changing Heater Control Setting Temperature

In normal use, temperatures of all heaters for the every selected media are preset automatically.

Therefore, ON/OFF setting and temperature setting for all heaters are not necessary.

Use the heater control panel only when the fine adjustment for the heater temperature is desired.

Set on/off and setup temperature of three heaters on the heater control panel.

• ON/OFF setting: Use ON/OFF key for each heater.
  • T emperature setting: Use the up key or down key for each heater.
  • LCD screen: (When the heater is turned ON)
  • Upper line: Preset temperature for each heater
• Lower line: Current temperature for each heater (When the heater is turned OFF)
  • Upper line: "OFF" for each heater
• Lower line: Current temperature for each heater

The preset temperature range is fixed to 15 °C to 55 °C.

■ Heater preset temperature by medium

The heater preset temperature for medium is listed in the table. Preset the heater temperature according to the media you use.

muidelM		e terutarepmet p edomRhi
		FRONT	PRINT	REAR
Glossy vinyle oldc	Glossy	45°C	40°C	45°C	4aph bi-direction
Mat vinyle chrolide	Matte	45°C	40°C	45°C	4aph bi-direction
Banner	Banner	45°C	40°C	45°C	4aph bi-direction

y

It is recommended 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 head motion mode to "HIGHLIGHT."

NOTE

• When the print heater temperature is set to high, fixibility of the ink is improved, but paper wrinkle or mat print may be caused.
  Adjust heater temperature according to the paper 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 higher 5 °C than the print heater's.
  Bad temperature balance between the front/rear heater and print heater may cause paper wrinkle.

■ Flow of heater temperature setting

(1) If the paper type is selected in setting the paper, the temperature initial value of each heater set for that paper is set on the heater control panel.

- If the temperature initial value has been set, the heater turns on. (Heating does not start yet.)

- If the temperature initial value is set to **, the heater turns off. (The set temperature display on the heater control panel becomes OFF.)

(2) If the print data are sent from the host (PC), either of the following operations is performed before the print starts.

A) If "Priority Setting (Heater)" set for the paper is "Data Priority"

- The temperature set with RIP (print data, job) overwrites the set temperature on the heater control panel, and the heating starts. (The heating does not start if the temperature set value is OFF.)

- If the temperature is not set with RIP (print data, job), the heating starts with the set temperature on the heater control panel.

B) If "Priority Setting (Heater)" set for the paper is "Panel Priority"

- The temperature set with RIP is ignored and the heating starts with the set temperature on the heater control panel.

(3) The print starts when the current temperature of front, print, and rear heaters all reaches the value exceeding "set temperature -2 °C", the print starts.

If the current temperature is higher than the set temperature, the print starts without waiting for the temperature to drop. Even after the print started, the temperature control is made so that the heaters keep the set temperature.

(4) During the printing, the temperature can vary while the printing is performed by changing the set temperature with the "TEMPERATURE UP/DOWN" key on the heater control panel.

Even after the print finished, the temperature changed in this section remains as "set temperature".

(5) Hence, the print job returns to step (2).

For the temperature initial value setting of front, print, and rear heaters, and the priority setting (heater), see Section 3 Entry Menu.

- The heaters operate under the condition displayed on the heater control panel, whatever means are used to set the temperature.

Using the Media Pressure Alternation Lever

Alternate the media gripping pressure of the paper transmission roller according to the media.

Generally, set the media pressure alternation lever to “normal pressure.” When media cannot be fed correctly due to skew, set the media alternation lever to “high pressure.”

Use the media pressure alternation lever to alternate the media gripping pressure (See the figure below).

NOTE

- The shape of the lever groove is shown below.

Pull the lever front and push up the lever for alternate the pressure from high to normal.

Alternate the head height according to the media you use. Use the head up/down lever for alternating the head height. (See the figure below)

1 Enter SERVICE menu and execute HEAD HEIGHT ADJ on the operation panel.

graph LR
    A["#ADJUST HEIGHT"] -->|ENTER| B["#ADJUST HEIGHT"]
    B -->|EXECUTING| C["End"]

2 Open the cap cover and loosen the head fixing screws (2 pieces) with a screw driver.

3 Alternate the height of the head with the head up/down lever.

Generally, preset the head up/down lever up for glossy vinyle chloride and matted vinyle chloride, and preset the head up/down for banner and FF.

When the paper thickness is 0.5 mm or more, preset the head up/down lever up regardless of media type.

When the head is rubbed with the media due to media floating, preset the head up/down lever down even for the thinner media.

4 Tighten the head fixing screws (2 pieces).

NOTE

• When changing the height of the head, tighten the head fixing screws while pushing the head down softly with your hand.
• When the head height is changed, change head height setting (19) in ENTER menu.
• When the head height is changed, print gap may be occurred at reciprocating print. In that case, adjust the correction value for reciprocating print. (See (20) Reciprocating print position (Left) adjustment value, and (21) Reciprocating print position (Right) adjustment value in ENTRY nemu.)

Mount the media edge guard on the right and left media transmission path to protect the head from nap and curl of the media edge.

NOTE

• Preset whether or not the edge guard exists in the PAPER menu on the operation panel corresponding to the mounting the media edge guard.
  The right and left margin of the print area will be changed according to the setting of the edge guard.
• When using the media edge guard, right and left margin of the print area becomes 10 mm.

Using the FAN Guard Slide Lever

Cut suction of the FAN for unused area to protect the head from suction of the FAN.

Slide the FAN guard slide lever between 50 inch width and 64 inch width.

Set the FAN guard slide lever according to the paper width you use.

NOTE

• When setting the FAN guard slide lever for 50 inch width paper at 64 inch width paper printing, the paper cannot be passed.
• Do not move the fan guard slide lever during print. If the fan guard slide lever hits the paper, paper jam could be occurred.
• T o prevent a jam due to the skew feed, ensure a clearance of about 5mm between the arrow on the slide lever and the paper edge.

Using the Print Pause/Restart and Cancel Keys

Print pause/restart and print cancel are also available from the rear (paper outlet side) of the printer.

Print pause/restart and print cancel are available during checking the print condition from the paper outlet side.

ONLINE key: Pause/Restart printing CANCEL key: Cancels printing

Operations of the ONLINE and CANCEL keys are the same as those of the operation panel's.

UNI: Print with single direction. (7) Condition pass setting (CONDITION PASS) Selects a conditioning pass mode for the paper. When the print waiting condition continues for a long time, the faint print or print off may be caused by the wrinkle or smudge on the edge of the paper roll due to humidity and dust. Use this function to avoid these problems. Set parameters according to the operational condition. If there is no received data and the printer waits printing even though the specified time has passed, the edge of the paper roll is fed to the front of the rear cover automatically. (If the edge of the paper roll exists in the front of the rear cover already, this action will be skipped.) When the print data is received and print starts, the conditioning pass (the repetition of paper feeding and rewinding) is performed automatically. Also, when the printer is turned off, the edge of the paper roll is fed to the front of the rear cover automatically before turning off. (When using the winder, the printer is turned off immediately.) #CONDITION PASS >01 : NONE \- NONE: The conditioning pass is not performed. Select this parameter when performing the continuous printing with the media that is hard to be wrinkled. When the printer is left in the waiting condition for a long time, the print off due to wrinkles may be caused. \- 30 min: The conditioning pass is performed at every 30 minutes. When the printer starts printing before 30 minutes interval, the condition pass is always performed at start of the printing. Select this parameter when the printer prints in a high humidity environment frequently and the paper is extremely wrinkled. \- 1 hour: The conditioning pass is performed at every 1 hour. Select this parameter when the print interval is more than 1 hour and the paper is extremely wrinkled. \- 2 hours: The conditioning pass is performed at every 2 hours. Select this parameter when the print interval is more than 2 hours and the paper is extremely wrinkled. \- 4 hours: The conditioning pass is performed at every 4 hours. Select this parameter when the print interval is more than 4 hours and the paper is extremely wrinkled. (8) Edge guard setting (EDGE GUARD) Set whether the media edge guard is used or not.

When the winder is effective, the paper will not be returned to the waiting position regardless of this setting. #PAPER SET MODE >01 : NORMAL \- NORMAL : Detects the paper width when replacing or setting the paper, and then completes the paper setting after checking paper skew during paper feeding. \- S A VING: Detects the paper width at replacing or setting the paper and then completes the paper setting after detecting the edge of the paper during paper rewinding.

NOTE

Usually set "NORMAL" when selecting "SAVING," take care of the followings. \- Cut the edge of the paper so that the edge of the paper is parallel to the guide line and set it to the printer. If the edge of the paper is not parallel, the print is missed on the edge of the paper and the platen is stained by ink and the paper jam is caused. \- Set the paper after checking no wrinkle on the edge of the paper. If using the paper with a wrinkle, it causes paper jam. \- Set the paper after checking no tape or glue or the edge of the paper. If using the paper with tape or glue, it causes paper jam. (12) Wind value setting for FAN (VACUUM) Sets wind value for FAN. #VACUUM >01 : NORMAL \- NORMAL: Absorbs the paper at the normal wind value. \- LOW: Absorbs the paper at the low wind value. (13) Wait of heating setting (WAIT HEATER) Sets whether print should wait for time that the heater temperature reaches the preset temperature. #WAIT HEATER >01 : WAIT \- W AIT: Waits the time until the heater temperature reaches the preset temperature. \- SKIP: Starts printing even if the heater temperature does not reach the preset temperature.
