What Is the Media Heating System?
This machine is equipped with a media heating system that warms the media. You use this mainly to improve
ink adhesion and dry the ink. You can adjust the temperature settings to match the type of media and the
printing speed.
Dryer
This is used to
speed up the drying
of the ink.
Print heater
This heater is used
mainly to improve ink
adhesion.
Note: By using an optional dryer, you can speed up the drying of the ink more. For recommended dryer

WARNING
Caution: High temperatures
The platen and dryer become hot. Exercise caution to avoid fire or burns.
WARNING
When output is not being performed, remove any loaded media or switch
off the sub power.
The continued application of heat at a single location may cause the release
of toxic gases from the media or pose a fire hazard.
WARNING
Never use media that cannot withstand the heat.
Doing so may result in fire or the release of toxic gases or may degrade the
media.
WARNING
Never use the platen or dryer for any purpose for which they are not
intended, such as to dry clothing.
Doing so may cause overheating, resulting in fire or accident.
Use the machine in an environment with an ambient temperature of 20 to 32°C (68 to 90°F).
If the machine is used at an ambient temperature lower than 20°C (68°F), then depending on the type or
width of the media, wrinkling or temperature-caused unevenness may occur. If this happens, try lowering the
temperature of the media heating system by about 2°C (36°F). To obtain stable printing results, however, use
the machine in an environment with an ambient temperature of 20 to 32°C (68 to 90°F).
