The media is then fed back into the printer at 25% of the normal reserve speed to avoid cockling on the retract move. Dry ON without Rewind allows the media to be advanced over the heater, but there may be blank media between prints. End of Print Dry OFF does not perform this at job completion and should be used when multiple plots are being printed. Note: EOP does not work at the end of a roll of media where it is taped to the core. Before printing, be sure there is sufficient media left on the roll to do the print and advance the entire print past the dryer. You can determine whether there is sufficient media by choosing Feed Media Menu/Media Counter. To set EOP dry 1 2 3 Press Setup Menu/Dryer Menu/End of Plot. Press OK.
