Print density
Set monochrome and multi-tone, respectively.
Selectable from 70% to 130% (5% increment)
Default setting: 100%
Depending on the paper type, it is recommended to set the print density as shown in the table below for the best
print quality.

Selectable from levels 1 to 14 (Slow ~ Fast)

When the print density level is increased, print speed may be reduced. When printing at a
density of 115% or more and below a room temperature of 15°C, the speed drops to less than
200 mm/sec.
•
When setting the print speed to level 14, use software settings to set the print density.
•
Print speed is restricted by the settings for the number of head electrification divisions. The
maximum printing speed of 350 mm/s is only possible when 1 electrification division is selected.
•
The maximum printing speed when using 58 mm is 300 mm/s.
Depending on print conditions, such as print duty, print head temperature, and 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.
•
It is not necessary to set the paper width because it is automatically detected when changing
from 80 mm to 58 mm.
•
Do not return the product to 80 mm after using it at 58 mm. The section of the print head that
did not touch paper may have rubbed against the platen roller and become damaged, or the
autocutter blade may be worn down. You need to set with the memory switch (customized
values) for the paper width in Software Setting mode.
