KS55 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL
NOTES:
→ Print quality varies depending on paper types.
→ Use the specified thermal paper, or proper print quality may not be obtained, the life of the
print head and autocutter unit may be shortened, or printer troubles may be caused.
→
Be sure to use paper of 56μm to 150μm.

3.6 - INTERNAL BUFFER
The standard KS55 printer has a 32 Kbytes internal memory buffer, whose functionality is
dynamically shared by the receiving buffer.
The buffer is being filled at the same time that buffered data is being printed, for that reason high
transmission speed is required in order to ensure that data is available for printing at any time. Data
transfer of at least 115200 bauds or USB connection increase the printing performance substantially.
