Specifying the Ink Drying Time

When you are using paper that takes longer for ink to adhere, ink may be transferred onto the paper surface during ejection, soiling it. In that case, you may be able to improve the condition by setting the time to wait for the ink to dry after printing.

Important

  • Printer settings are applied when the ink drying time is not set in the printer driver. If you set the ink drying time in the printer driver, that setting has priority.

Note

  • If the Cutter touches the print surface on which the ink is not dry, the paper surface may become scratched or soiled, or the paper surface may rub when the paper falls and the surface may become soiled.

    To wait for the ink to dry without allowing printed materials to fall after printing, set Cutting mode on the printer menu to Eject cut. (See "Specifying the Cutting Method for Rolls.")

  • The ink drying time for sheets can also be set using this procedure.

Set on the Printer

Set with the touch screen of the printer.

In addition to Pause between scans and Pause between pages, which you can set in the printer driver, You can set the Pause on last page take-up and Pause timing priority when you use the Roll unit as a Take-up mode.

  1. Tap paper settings display area on Home screen of touch screen.

  2. Tap the feed slot where the paper is loaded to specify the ink drying time.

  3. Tap Paper settings.

  4. Tap Advanced.

    Scroll the screen to set Pause between scans, Pause between pages, Pause on last page take-up, and Pause timing priority.

    Pause between scans

    Print one scan on the page and then set the wait time for the next one scan to print.

    Pause between pages

    Print one page and then set the wait time for paper to be ejected.

    If you have the next page, when print it after the ink drying time has elapsed.

    Pause on last page take-up

    When you use a roll unit mode as a take-up, you set the wait time after you print the last page.

    If you have the next page to print, cancel the drying time waiting and print.

    Pause timing priority

    You can specify a preferred pause time when using a roll unit as a take-up mode.

    Select Between pages if you want to print on a per-page basis, and if you prefer the wait time before paper is discharged, select On last page if you want to prioritize the wait times after you print the final pages.
