• Text compression vertical/horizontal
Makes the print size smaller.
The compression amount is specified by a combination of vertical and horizontal
compression ratios.
 Auto side shift (MSW8-6)
This function dissipates heat load during frequent heat generation by a vertical
ruled line or other specific head heating element.
If no data is received within 15 seconds after each cut or print, the print position is
automatically slid N* dots to the right. The original print position is returned to at
the next slide timing.
* N is the MSW8-6 setting value.
CAUTION
 Before configuring the top margin suppression setting, first remove any partially cut paper
from the printer. Failure to do so can cause the cut paper to be torn off by the next print
operation, which can cause printer trouble.
 Note the following precautions when using text compression.
• Compressed text is more difficult to read than the original text.
• Horizontally compressing text also makes the print range smaller, so the number of
print lines does not change. Pay close attention to the print range when using
narrow paper.
• Do not use compressed text when printing a bar code. Doing so may make the bar
code unreadable.
 If the right margin is too narrow, this may result in some print characters being cut off. This
function is disabled under initial settings. To enable this function, use MSW8-6 to specify an
appropriate value for the maximum slide amount.
