3.18 PROTECTIVE FUNCTION

3.18.1 Protective Function of AC Adapter (Print Pause Function)

When the print ratio per media is too high, the printer activates the protective function and print job is pause
temporarily. The warning message, PAUSE, is displayed on the screen. Refer to Section 5.1.4 Warning
Messages for details.
The print pause duration differs depending on the print ratio, print speed, print darkness and the print head
temperature.

3.18.2 Protective Function of AC Adapter (Speed Reduction Function)

When the print ratio exceeds 70% (583 dots) in any of a horizontal line, and the print speed is within 4 inches/
sec to 6 inches/sec, it activates protective function. The print speed becomes 4 inches/sec or 3.7 inches/sec.
Notes:
• Print contents do not affect this function.
• This process is carried out for each print. When there is one high print ratio printout in sequential print, the
printer stops media feed and resumes printing with reduced print speed.
• Upper limit of strobe is the same as 4 inches/sec printing.
