NOTES: 1. The print speed listed above is the value when the printer prints with the standard print
density level at 24 V and 25
°
C {77
°
F}. The print speed may change automatically with
the condition of the supply voltage or the head temperature.
2. Printing speed may be slower depending on the data transmission speed and the
combination of control commands.
3. Low transmission speed may cause intermittent printing. It is recommended to transmit
data to the printer as fast as possible.
10) Paper feed speed:
Approximately 130 mm/s {approximately 5.1"/s} (continuous paper feeding)
