Notes 1: Refer to Table 2-8.
Notes 2: This division applies to all printing modes. PI control oversees the constant speed. (Refer
to page 2-27 for more information on PI control.) For increased throughput, the division
Super Draft to Draft HD allows printing during acceleration and deceleration.
Notes 3: This division increases throughput when the carriage is moving and the printer is not
printing.
The printer has three deceleration control modes. The degree of deceleration is determined by how the CR
motor transistors are driven. Table 2-8 describes how the transistors are driven for each mode.
