1. GENERAL SPECIFCATIONS
1.1 Printing Specifications
1) Printing method: Thermal line printing
2) Dot density: 8 dots/mm × 8 dots/mm (203 dpi × 203 dpi)
(dpi: dots per 25.4 mm {1"})
3) Printing direction: Unidirectional forward with friction feed
(When feeding to the print starting position, paper may be fed in a
reverse direction.)
4) Paper width: 80 mm {3.15"} (default setting) or variable other than 80 mm with the
paper roll spacer packed in the box.
(Refer to Section 1.5, Paper Roll Supply Device, for details.)
5) Print width: 72 mm {2.83"}, 576 dot positions
(when the paper width is 80 mm)
6) Number of characters per line:
48 (using font A when the paper width is 80 mm)
(The default setting is font A)
7) Print speed: <Normal printing> (default setting)
120 mm/s {4.72"} maximum
<High-speed printing> (selected with the memory switch)
150 mm/s {5.91"} maximum
(The high-speed printing is selected when the specified paper is used.
Refer to Section 1.6, Paper Specifications, for details.)
<Ladder bar code, two-dimensional code printing>
90 mm/s {3.54"} maximum
<Two-color printing>
90 mm/s {3.54"} maximum
NOTES: • The print speeds listed above are values when the print density is set to the default
setting at 24 V and 25°C {77°F}. The print speed may change automatically depending
on the power supply voltage and the condition of the head temperature.
• 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. (Example: at least 19,200 bps for printing with
font A) (bps: bits per second)
• When the ladder bar code or 2-dimensional code is printed, the print starts when the
specific paper feed speed is reached. Therefore, the paper may be fed for the
maximum 10 dot lines, depending on the paper feed speed at the time that the print data
is received.
8) Line spacing: 3.75 mm {0.15"}
(Programmable by control command.)
