This edition adds information about the new single-station SureMark printers, which
are Models TF6 and TM6, and also about updates for Models TI3 and TI4.
Changes for this edition include:
v Because there are important differences between Models TF6 and TM6, which
are single-station SureMark printers, and the thermal/impact SureMark printers,
the book has been reorganized into three parts.
Part 1 contains information that is similar for all SureMark models. Information
about the new single-station printers has been added throughout this part.
Part 2 contains information that is specific to the thermal/impact SureMark
printer Models TI1, TI2, TI3, TI4, TG3, and TG4.
Part 3 contains information that is specific to the new single-station SureMark
printer Models TF6 and TM6.
v A new thermal font has been added. See “Set print mode” on page 129 and
“Thermal printing font” on page 98.
v Support for emulation of an Epson single-station printer has been added. See
“Emulating an Epson single-station printer (single-station only)” on page 43 for
information about how to enable emulation and an overview of the limitations to
using emulation mode. See Appendix G, “Emulation support for Epson
single-station printer,” on page 193 for detailed information about what Epson
commands are supported in emulation mode.

fonts. See “Proportional font conversion utility” on page 37.
