Programmable by control command.
7) Printing speed:
High speed mode:
Approximately 150 mm/s maximum
{Approximately 5.9"/s maximum}
47.2 lps maximum (computed value for 3.18 mm {1/8"} feed)
35.5 lps maximum (4.23 mm {1/6"} feed)
(at 24V, 28
°
C {82.4
°
F}, Density level 1. Speeds are switched
automatically depending on the voltage applied to the printer and
head temperature conditions.)
Low power consumption mode:
Approximately 16.5 lps (4.23 mm {1/6"} feed)
Approximately 70 mm/s {approximately 2.76"/s}
When a ladder bar code is printed:
Approximately 42 mm/s {approximately 1.7"/s}
[lps: lines per second]
NOTES:
•
There may be variations in printing after switching the mode of the printing speed. To
prevent this for logo printing with

command, using a downloaded bit image is
recommended. Change in printing speed does not occur during down loaded bit image
printing.
•
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.
•
High speed mode or low power consumption mode is selected by a DIP switch. (Refer to
Table 3.3.4 and 3.3.7).
