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).
