Changing the Special Settings
Use the [Special Settings] to change the special settings of the printer as required. Normally, it is not
necessary to change the settings.
There are seven special settings.

maintain the print head performance. If this check box is unchecked, the printing time increases
due to an extra process for print head cleaning.
The default setting is "ON".

When activated, left and right minimum margin is 2.7 mm (0.11 inch). (When not activated, it is 2.5
mm (0.10 inch))
The default setting is "ON".
[ Fanfold Paper Mode]
