Notes:
Printing speed may be slower depending on the data transmission speed and the combination
of control commands.
There may be variations in printing speed. To prevent this for logo printing, using a downloaded
bit image is recommended.
Low transmission speed may cause intermittent printing. It is recommended to transmit data
to the printer as quickly as possible.
