E.g. The system date is 2012/07/31.
Supposed the date by customer is
2010/07/31, customer can set the year in
date as 2010. Then the date shown on
the print will be 2010/07/31.

be that of the next date.
Ink becomes dry on nozzle plate
during use. The dried ink will make
the print not clear for half of first

moist so as to eliminate dried ink

nozzle or there are missing dots in print
by left channel, user can switch to right
channel printing.
At option of dual-channel printing, left
channel and right channel will work at
same time for printing to achieve darker

For example: Current date is 07.10, set
the date transition time to be 07:59,then
the time of last printing out before that is
recorded as 09/07 07:59, after that is
10/07,8:00. If the date transition time is
