Specifying the Ink Drying Time for Rolls

When you are using paper that takes longer for ink to adhere, ink may be transferred onto the paper surface during ejection, soiling it. In that case, you may be able to improve the condition by setting the time to wait for the ink to dry after printing.

With this printer, you can specify the ink drying time according to the output location and paper width.

Important

  • When setting from the touch screen of the printer, you can specify the ink drying time according to the output location and paper width.

  • The settings of the printer are applied when the ink drying time is not set in the printer driver. If you set the ink drying time in the printer driver, that setting has priority.

Note

  • If the Cutter touches the print surface on which the ink is not dry, the paper surface may become scratched or soiled, or the paper surface may rub when the paper falls and the surface may become soiled.

    If ejecting the paper from the front and waiting for the ink to dry without cutting the paper immediately after printing, set Cutting mode on the printer menu to Eject cut. (See "Specifying the Cutting Method for Rolls.")

  • The ink drying time for sheets can also be set using this procedure.
