Depending on print conditions, such as print duty, print head temperature, and data transmission
speed, print speed is automatically adjusted, which can cause white lines due to intermittent
print (the motor sometimes stops). To avoid this, set the transmission speed higher or keep the
print speed constant by setting it lower.
