DC2 '%' n
Code
12H 25H n
Definition Range
Function Specifies the thermal head driving method to dynamic division and specifies the maximum
number of simultaneously activated dots.
n: Maximum number of simultaneously activated dots (Specified by n × 8)
Notes
When this command is input, the thermal head driving is specified to the dynamic division
method.
The range of n is from 12 to 36. Specify the maximum number of simultaneously activated
dots to n × 8 dots.
n < 12 is processed as n = 12, and n > 36 is processed as n = 36.
Specifying a large number of dots when using a power supply with a small capacity may result
in faint print or voltage error. Make sure not to exceed the capacity of the power supply when
specifying the number of division dots by this command.
The initial state can be determined by MS4-1 to 2 (Number of Dots Selection for Fixed
Division and Dynamic Division) and MS4-3 (Division Driving Method Selection).
DC2 '~' n
Code
12H 7EH n
Definition Range
Function Sets the print density.
Notes
The print density can be adjusted by setting the energy applied to the thermal head in the
range of 70% to 130% of the rated energy. However, if the print density that exceeds the
rating (100%) is set, the thermal head life may not be satisfied.
When n is out of the definition range, this command is ignored, and the setting value does not
change.
The initial state can be selected from 70% to 130% using the Function Setting MS6-1 to 8
(Print Density Selection).
Excessive printing energy may shorten the life of the thermal head or may cause a paper feed
problem, so set the thermal paper selection and print density selection accurately. If the
thermal paper to use is different from the one selected, or the print density selection is other
than 100%, the reliability of the product specification may not be satisfied.
