1. GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS
1.1 Printing Specifications
1) Printing method: Thermal line printing
2) Dot density: 180 dpi × 180 dpi
[dpi: dots per 25.4 mm {1"}]
3) Printing direction: Unidirectional with friction feed
4) Printing width: 72 mm {2.83"}, 512 dot positions
5) Characters per line (default): Font A: 42
Font B: 56
Kanji: 21
6) Character spacing (default): Font A: 0.28 mm {0.01"} (2 dots)
Font B: 0.28 mm {0.01"} (2 dots)
Programmable by control command.
7) Printing speed: High speed mode:
Approximately 150 mm/s maximum
{Approximately 5.9"/s maximum}
47.2 lps maximum (computed value for 3.18 mm {1/8"} feed)
35.5 lps maximum (4.23 mm {1/6"} feed)
(at 24V, 28°C {82.4°F}, Density level 1. Speeds are switched
automatically depending on the voltage applied to the printer and
head temperature conditions.)
Low power consumption mode:
Approximately 16.5 lps (4.23 mm {1/6"} feed)
Approximately 70 mm/s {approximately 2.76"/s}
When a ladder bar code is printed:
Approximately 42 mm/s {approximately 1.7"/s}
[lps: lines per second]
NOTES: • There may be variations in printing after switching the mode of the printing speed. To
prevent this for logo printing with ESC ∗
∗∗
∗ command, using a downloaded bit image is
recommended. Change in printing speed does not occur during down loaded bit image
printing.
• Printing speed may be slower depending on the data transmission speed and the
combination of control commands.
• Low transmission speed may cause intermittent printing. It is recommended to transmit
data to the printer as quickly as possible.
• High speed mode or low power consumption mode is selected by a DIP switch. (Refer to
Table 3.3.4 and 3.3.7).
