Maintain paper
To maintain paper quality, follow the recommendations below.
●
Store rolls covered by another piece of paper or cloth
●
Store cut sheets covered and clean or brush them before loading them in the printer
●
Clean input and output platens
●
Always keep the window of your printer closed
NOTE: Photo and coated paper requires careful handling, see The print is scued or scratched on page 136.
Change the drying time
You may wish to change the drying time setting to suit special printing conditions such as multiple prints where
time is of higher importance or when you need to be sure ink is dry before handling.
Press , then , then Setup > Print retrieval > Select drying time. You can select:
●
Extended, to set a longer than recommended time to ensure ink is completely dry
●
Optimal, to set the default and recommended time for your selected paper (this is the default setting)
●
Reduced, to set a shorter than recommended time when quality is of lower importance
●
None, to disable the drying time and remove your print as soon as it nishes printing
CAUTION: If the ink is not dry when the print is removed it could leave ink in the output tray and marks on the
print.
NOTE: If you cancel the drying time during a print, the printer may not feed and cut the paper right away due to
the printhead maintenance, which runs in parallel. If the dry time is zero, the printer cuts the paper and then
performs the printhead maintenance. However, if the dry time is greater than zero, the printer does not cut the
paper until after the printhead maintenance has completed.
