Customized value
The following items can be set as the customized value with the Memory Switch Setting Utility
or a command.
•Print density
•Print speed
•Number of head energizing parts
Selecting the print density
Selectable from levels 1 to 13 (light ∼ dark).
Selecting the print speed
Selectable from levels 1 to 9 (low ∼ high). (Initial setting: level 9)
Selecting the number of head energizing parts
•One-part energizing
•Two-part energizing
•Auto energizing (Initial setting)
The print density can be set with DIP switches (2-3/2-4) or the customized value. (See
"Setting the Memory Switches" on page 42.) The initial setting of the customized value is
“Depends on the DIP switch settings.” If the customized value is changed, the value set
with the customized value is enabled.
Depending on print conditions such as print duty, print head temperature, or data
transmission speed, print speed is automatically adjusted which may cause white lines due
to intermittent print (the motor sometimes stops). To avoid this, keep the print speed
constant by setting it lower, or set the transmission speed higher in case of the serial
interface. (See "Transmission speed (DIP switch 1-7/1-8)" on page 36.)
• Usually, the number of head energizing parts does not need to be changed.
• When auto energizing is selected, the printer usually prints in one-part energizing, but it
automatically shifts to two-part energizing if print duty is high.
