Function
You can display how much of the media in use is left. Once you set
the amount of media remaining, the amount remaining is displayed
at the top menu until it reaches zero. If you cancel the setup such as
by removing the media or raising the loading lever, the amount re-
maining at that time flashes on the screen.
The amount of media remaining is not updated automatically when
you change the media. Redo the setting whenever you change the
media. You can also make the setting to display this menu automati-
cally whenever you change the media.
Note, however, that when sheet media is loaded (that is, when [SETUP
SHEET] is set to [PIECE]), the amount of media remaining is set
automatically.
The remaining amount that is displayed is only an estimate, and its
accuracy is not assured.
Setting this to [ENABLE] automatically displays [SHEET REMAIN]
whenever you change the media and finish setup. This makes it im-
possible to go on to the next operation unless you redo the setting for
the amount remaining. This can be useful for keeping you from for-
getting to redo the setting when you change the media.
When you set this to [ENABLE], however, be sure to also set the
[EDGE SENSE] menu item to [ENABLE]. When [EDGE SENSE] is
set to [DISABLE], then [SHEET REMAIN] is not displayed auto-
matically, regardless of the setting for [SET AT LOADING].
Also, when sheet media is loaded (that is, when [SETUP SHEET] is
set to [PIECE]), the amount of media remaining is set automatically,
and so this menu is not displayed.
This prints the amount of media remaining that is displayed at the
top menu. You use this when you want to make a record of the re-
maining length of the media now in use. Printing the amount of me-
dia remaining before you change the media enables you to refer to
the printed record and use the value to make the setting for the re-
maining amount the next time you use the media.
Note, however, that continuing by performing the next output starts
the output on top of the portion where the amount of remaining me-
dia is printed. After you print the amount remaining, we recommend
using [SHEET CUT] key to cut off the media.
If print shows a problem, clean the print head.
Because cleaning subjects the head to wear and consumes ink, it
should only be performed when absolutely necessary. Performing
cleaning from the Powerful menu in particular subjects the head to
early wear and used up large amounts of ink.
[ALL MEDIUM]/[A MEDIUM]/[B MEDIUM]/[C MEDIUM]: Per-
forms cleaning of the print heads. After cleaning, carry out a print-
ing test to make sure there are no problems with printing quality.
Normally, head cleaning should be performed by pressing the
[CLEANING] key.
[ALL POWERFUL]/[A POWERFUL]/[B POWERFUL]/[C POW-
ERFUL]: Used when performing cleaning with Medium several times
does not restore the printing quality. After cleaning, carry out a print-
ing test to make sure there are no problems with printing quality.
