photocell senses the printing object
to the point when printing starts.
User can adjust the value to alter the

E.g. Printing delay value is 30mm,
printer starts printing at 30mm point after
the photocell senses the printing object.
It is beginning value in printing
process for print data.
It is a power saving function, the
screen will automatically turn off and

E.g. Set the initial value as 9, the counter
counting starts from 9 for first print.
E.g. Set the screen saver time as one

turn off and enter standby mode if the
screen becomes inactive for one minute.
It is the special year on customer
demand. Customer can change the
year in date format by any round
number within scope.
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.
When system time reaches certain
point, the printout date and time will
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
character. To prevent this
phenomenon, user can turn this
function ON.
When Pre-purge function is turned ON,

level during idle period in printing
process to keep nozzle plate warm and
moist so as to eliminate dried ink
phenomenon.

purge nozzles.
Purge whole nozzle plate, make sure
nozzles are unblocked.
Customer can switch for different

according to print need and nozzle
channel condition.

E.g. At option of single-channel printing,
when there are damage in left channel
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
print and best print quality.
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
