SC-B9580 User's Guide Control Panel Menu 96 Item Parameter Explanation Platen Gap 1.6 Set the Platen Gap (the distance between the print head and the media). In most situations, use the values set for each media type as they are. If the print results are scratched or smudged, they may be improved by setting a larger value. However, choosing a larger gap than required may result in ink stains inside the printer, reduced print quality, or shorter product life. 2.0 2.5 Feeding Tension Lv1 to Lv4 In most situations, use the values set for each Media Type as they are. Increase tension if creases appear in the media during printing. The higher the value, the greater the tension.
Paper Suction Lv0 to Lv10 Set the strength of the suction by the platen on the media. The higher the value, the greater the suction. In most situations, use the values set for each Media Type as they are. If the media is wavy on the platen, increase the set value. If graininess or out-of-focus characteristics are detected in printing results obtained using thin or soft media or if the media is not fed normally, reduce the set value. Head Movement Range Data Width Choose the range in which the print head moves during printing. Data Width: The print heads move within the range of the print data's width. Restricting the extent of the print heads' movement increases print speed. Printer Width:
The print heads move within the range of the printer's maximum media width. Select this option for more even print results with less variation. Media Width: The print heads move within the range of the width of the media that is loaded. Printer Width Media Width Multi-Strike Printing On (2 to 8) Choose the number of times each line is printed. To perform high-density printing, increase the frequency. Off Media Feed Speed Limitation On Normally, leave this Off. Set this to On if media sticks, wrinkles, or tears easily when printing on thin media. When this is set to On, print speed slows down.
Off Pressure Roller Load Light In most situations, use the values set for each Media Type as they are. If the following occurs when printing, you may be able to eliminate the problem by changing the Pressure Roller Load to Light. ❏ Wrinkling around the pressure rollers. ❏ Staining due to the media striking the print head. ❏ Pressure rollers leaving marks on the media. Standard Skew Reduction On Select whether or not (On/Off) the printer performs operations to correct media skew (media fed skewed) when media is loaded. Normally, leave this On. Set this to Off if the media shows marks from the rollers due to skew corrections.
Off Roll Winding Direction Printable Side Out Set this according to the winding specifications of the media being loaded. Printable Side In
