(1) Excluded when the same dots are printed continuously and/or damage is caused by dust and foreign materials.
(2) Print speed changes according to the baud rate in RS232 connection and temperature. Higher printer speed rates are
achieved at higher baud rates and USB connection.
(3) ESC/POS are registered trademarks of Seiko Epson Corporation.
(4) In order to upload new firmware or new TrueType font, FWLoader and FontLoader application programs are available
on demand.
(5) Paper cutting environment : room temperature and humidity, the shape of the paper exit described in this manual.
When using the thermal paper in specified thermal paper
