• If the computer is unable to communicate with the printer, a message may be displayed because
the computer cannot access the function information that was set on the printer.
If this happens, click
Cancel
to display the most recent settings specified on your computer.
2. If necessary, complete the following settings:
Ink Drying Wait Time
You can set the length of the printer rest time until printing of the next page begins. Moving the
slider to the right increases the pause time, and moving the slider to the left decreases the time.
If the paper gets stained because the next page is ejected before the ink on the printed page dries,
increase the ink drying wait time.
Reducing the ink drying wait time speeds up printing.
Prevent paper abrasion
The printer can increase the gap between the print head and the paper during high-density printing
to prevent paper abrasion.
Check this check box to prevent paper abrasion.
Prevent paper double-feed
Select this check box only if the printer is feeding multiple sheets of plain paper at the same time.
Important
• Using this function slows down the print speed.
Align heads manually

Print Head Alignment

Test Print

Printer Utility is set to automatic head alignment, but you can change it to manual head alignment.

automatic head alignment.

Paper
Size
on the Print dialog, a message is displayed.
To use paper width detection when printing from the computer, select the check box.
Important
• When you use a custom page size, correctly set the size of the paper loaded in the printer in
the
Custom Paper Sizes
dialog.
If an error message is displayed even though paper of the same size that was specified is
loaded, uncheck the
Detect the paper width when printing from computer
check box.
