Chapter 2 Basic Operation 2-22
2. 9 Dehumidifying Roll Media
If the roll paper is extremely humidified, it may cause several kinds of defective print.
Defective prints you will experience most will be “crease of paper” and “loss of image”.
If the KIP 7170 is installed in such a condition, it is recommended to use the optional embedded
“Dehumidify Heater”.
Turn on the Dehumidify Heater if the room air has too much humidity (75% or higher) to prevent
the above kinds of print defect.
Such problems above may be resolved.
To turn on the Dehumidify Heater, press the H side of the Dehumidify Heater Switch on the rear.
(Press its L side to turn off.)

humidifying of roll media, it is recommended to use this kit. Ask your service
personnel for DEHUMIDIFY KIT.
