Maximum print speed
dpi: dots per inch
*1: When the printer prints with the standard print density level at 25°C {77°F} and 24V.
*2: The maximum is 100 mm/s {3.94"/s} when printing ladder barcodes, 2-dimensional symbols, or multi-tone graphics.
• The print speed changes automatically depending on the applied voltage and head
temperature.
• If the data transmission speed is slower than the maximum print speed, the print speed may
fluctuate and the print result may become shaded and/or dot displacement in paper feeding
may occur. Furthermore, if the data transmission speed is much slower than the maximum print
speed, intermittent printing will occur.
