Small dot size is selected using “ESC ( e” command.
* These are recommended values only. You may find that other values are more suitable for your driver or
application.

when a choice, “( )”, is indicated. If the user turns MicroWeave “ON”, then High Speed mode (bi-
directional printhead printing) should be disabled for best quality.
