Changing the Machine Operation Mode

If necessary, switch between various modes of machine operation.

The procedure for configuring Custom Settings is as follows:

Custom Settings

1. Open the printer driver setup window

2. Make sure that the machine is on, and then click Custom Settings on the Maintenance tab

   The Custom Settings dialog box opens.

   Note

   • If the machine is off or if communication between the machine and the computer is disabled, an error message may appear because the computer cannot collect the machine status.
     If this happens, click OK to display the most recent settings specified on your computer.

3. If necessary, complete the following settings:

   Detects a printable disc in the disc tray

   Detects whether a printable disc is loaded on the disc tray during disc label printing and displays a message if a disc is not loaded.

   Check this check box to print with detecting whether a printable disc is loaded.
   Uncheck this check box to print without detecting whether a printable disc is loaded.

   Important

   • If you leave this check box unchecked, the printer may print to the disc tray even if a printable disc is not loaded on the disc tray. Therefore, you should check this check box under normal circumstances.

   • If you load a printable disc that has already been printed onto the disc tray, the printer may detect that no printable disc is loaded on the disc tray. In this case, uncheck this check box.

   Prevent paper abrasion

   The machine can increase the gap between the print head and the paper during high-density printing to prevent paper abrasion
   Check this check box to use this function.

   Align heads manually

   Usually, the Print Head Alignment function on the Maintenance tab is set to automatic head alignment, but you can change it to manual head alignment.
   If the printing results of automatic print head alignment are not satisfactory, see "Aligning the Print Head Position Manually from Your Computer," and perform manual head alignment.
   Check this check box to perform the manual head alignment. Uncheck this check box to perform the automatic head alignment.

   Ink Drying Wait Time

   You can set the length of the machine rest time until printing of the next page begins. Moving the slider to the right increases the pause time, and moving the slider to the left decreases the time.
   If the paper gets stained because the next page is ejected before the ink on the printed page dries, increase the ink drying wait time.
   Reducing the ink drying wait time speeds up printing.

4. Apply the settings

   Click OK and when the confirmation message appears, click OK.

   The machine operates with the modified settings hereafter.
