Setting Explanation
Assign a name of up to 20 characters to the media settings to be saved.
(You can use either 1-byte or 2-byte characters) Assigning descriptive
names makes them easier to identify when making a selection later.
The printer uses sensors to automatically detect the surface of the
media that is loaded on the platen so it can print with an appropriate
Head Height (platen gap). Normally, keep this set to Auto when using
the printer. In the following situations, we recommend setting Manual.
❏
❏
The surface of the media that is loaded on the platen is detected
automatically, aligned to the set head height (platen gap), and then
printing is done.
* Set the position of the surface of the media as a reference when
Standard
deciding the gap between the print head and the media. Normally,
keep this set to Standard when using the printer.
Bottom
Change this setting only when using the media's highest position and
Top
lowest position as references.
Prints with a fixed gap between the print head and the media.
When Head Height is set to Auto, the reference height that is detected
may vary, because of wrinkles or fuzz caused by the texture or material
of the media that is loaded as well as its loading condtion. Variations
in the reference height causes small differences to occur in the head
height (platen gap), so inconsistencies may occur in the print results. To
eliminate these inconsistencies, set Manual, such as when you want to
fix the head height and print.
When changing to Manual, you need to determine the combination of
spacers and the scale position of the platen gap lever according to the
type of platen being used and the thickness of the media being loaded,
and then you need to check the platen height again.
See the following for more details.
