Normally, it is not necessary tochange the settings.There are three special settings.[ Ink Pre-fire On The Paper]A very small quantity of ink is constantly discharged onto paper at regular intervals in order to maintain the printhead performance.By default, the [Ink Pre-fire On The Paper] check box is not selected. If this check box is unchecked, the printingtime increases due to an extra process for print head cleaning.[Print&Hold Mode]Select the [Print & Hold Mode] check box when you want to stop printing at the ejection slot one sheet at a time.By default, this check box is not selected.[Low Temperature Print Mode]Set the printer to [Low Temperature Print Mode].When the printer is used at a temperature of less than 13 degrees Celsius (55.4 degrees Fahrenheit), the amountof ink pre-fire on the paper is increased for printing. Therefore, when used in a location where the roomtemperature easily fluctuates, the mode automatically switches according to room temperature when printing,resulting in uneven print quality. Use this mode when you want to keep printing quality consistent.By default, this check box is not selected.This function consumes more in than other modes, use it only when necessary.[Reduce smudge on media edge]Look at the printed result, and select the [Reduce smudge on media edge] check box to reduce stains at thepaper edges if necessary.By default, this check box is not selected.The printing speed is slow when this mode is set.IMPORTANT• Administrative privileges over this printer are required to configure sprinter settings.If a user without administrative privileges proceeds with configuration of settings, a message ”You do not haverights to printer management. Please contact your system administrator.” appears.For more details, see “Administrative privileges required for certain features (P.40)”.• When printing is in progress or an error has occurred, you cannot change any special setting.
