Procedures from Preparing to Move Through Reinstalling
To move the machine, you must completely drain all ink inside the machine and secure the print heads in place with
Packing materials to protect them. Attempting to move the machine without first doing this may result in damage to
internal components due to leaking ink or damage to the heads.
This operation requires eight UNUSED SOL INK cleaning cartridges. Have these on hand before you start.
For information on how to remove and attach the various items, refer to the Setup Guide.
Important Notes on Moving
➢Be sure to use SOL INK cleaning cartridges. Use of any other type may result in breakdown.
➢Once the preparations for moving are complete, move the machine and fill it with ink with as little delay as
possible. Allowing the machine to stand without ink may damage the heads.
➢When moving the machine, keep it at a temperature between 5 to 40˚C (41 to 104˚F) and at relative humidity
between 20 to 80% (with no condensation). Failure to do so may result in breakdown.
➢Handle the machine with care when moving, keeping it level (not tilted at an angle) and preventing it from
striking other objects.

 Press 
Description
You can use  to set the output-start location anywhere you want. Note, however that this setting must be made
for each individual page. When the printing of one page finishes, the output-start location returns to its default value.
When the location has been set, the 
 comes on. Also, the screen displays the printable width at the set
location.
When using the take-up unit, never use 
. Doing so may cause the take-up unit to pull the media with undue

Adjusting Head Height to Match Media Thickness
Procedure

Press .
Press 
 several times.
Press .
Open the front cover.
Move the lever to adjust the height of the head.
Moving the lever to High makes a warning beep sound
twice. Moving it to Low makes the warning beep
sound once.
Close the front vcover.
Press 
 to enable the setting.
Press .
Press 
 to go back to the original screen.
Description
Depending on the media, media may wrinkle or come loose from the platen during outputting, increasing the chance
of contact with the print heads. When you are using such media, adjust the head height to HIGH.
Note that the height of the heads cannot be determined by just the thickness of the media.
Misalignment may occur during bidirectional printing due to the head height or the thickness of the media. If this
happens, perform bidirectional correction to match the media youre using.

Using Transparent  Media
Procedure

Press .
Press 
 several times .
Press .
Use 
 to select DISABLE.
Press 
 to enable the setting.
Press .
Press 
 to go back to the original screen.
Description
This setting enables or disables detection of the leading and trailing edges of the media. It is normally set to ENABLE.
When transparent media is loaded, set it to DISABLE. When this is set to DISABLE, the ROLL and TU selections
are available during media setup. At this time, ensure a margin of at least 75 mm from the leading edge of the media
to the printing- or cutting-start location.
When [EDGE DETECTION] is set to DISABLE, the machine cannot detect when media runs out. In such cases,
printing operation does not stop when the media runs out, and there is a chance that the platen or the like may
become soiled by ink or that ink may get inside and damage the machine. If media runs out while printing is in
progress, immediately press 
 to quit printing.

Description
You use this when ink dries poorly even when the print heater and dryer are used. Larger values produce progressively
slower movement of the media, enabling you to extend the drying time accordingly. Printing time takes correspond-
ingly longer.
You can also make this setting on the computer. When you have made the setting on the computer, the computers
setting is used and the printers setting is ignored.

Description
The platen uses suction to grip the media and keep it stable. When media comes loose from the platen because it is
warped or wrinkled, increasing the suction force may help correct the problem. Conversely, when the media is flimsy
and cannot move smoothly, reducing the suction force may help.
When set to AUTO, the suction force is automatically adjusted to the optimal level for the media width.
You can also make this setting on the computer. When you have made the setting on the computer, the computers
setting is used and the printers setting is ignored.

Speeding Up Output for Narrow Media

 several times.
Press .
Use

Press 
 to enable the setting.
Press .
Press 
 to go back to the original screen.
Description
This shortens output time by reducing the width of head movement to the minimum necessary. This is effective when
the width of the media or the output data is narrow.
SHEET matches the range of head movement to the width of the media.
OFF matches the range of head movement to the output data. Movement is limited to the minimum amount neces-
sary, and this can be expected to yield the fastest output. Note, however, that because the speed of media movement
is no longer constant, colors may be uneven.
FULL makes the speed of media movement constant at all times.
