Explanation
(1) The standard density is finely adjusted to increase or decrease.
(2) When any fine adjustment value for print density out of the range is set, a command error
occurs.
(3) If the print mode is set to any value other than "1: Direct thermal," it should be changed to
"1."
(4) The default value for the head output division designation is "3: Auto1 (Not divided,
Divided by 2 or 3)" when the 2-inch print head is used and "3: Auto1 (Not divided, Divided
by 2, 3 or 6)" when the 4-inch print head is used.
(5) When "0: Auto" is designated for the 2-inch print head, "Divided by 3" or "Divided by 2" is
automatically selected for every line according to the print ratio. The width of half a dot
may not be printed on the line when switching between "Divided by 2" and "Divided by 3."
Therefore, do not designate "0: Auto" when a serial barcode is printed.
(6) When "3: Auto1" or "5: Auto2" is designated for the 2-inch print head, "Not divided,"
"Divided by 3" or "Divided by 2" is automatically selected for every line according to the
print ratio. The width of half a dot may not be printed on the line when switching among
"Not divided," "Divided by 2" and "Divided by 3." Therefore, do not designate "3: Auto1"
or "5: Auto2" when a serial barcode is printed.
The difference between Auto1 and Auto2 is while Auto1 is print quality oriented, Auto2 is
print speed oriented. Auto2 is designated to increase the print speed although the print
is slightly faded.
(7) When "0: Auto" is designated for the 4-inch print head, "Divided by 6," "Divided by 3" or
"Divided by 2" is automatically selected for every line according to the print ratio. The
width of half a dot may not be printed on the line when switching among "Divided by 2,"
"Divided by 3" and "Divided by 6." Therefore, do not designate "0: Auto" when a serial
barcode is printed.
(8) When "3: Auto1" is designated for the 4-inch print head, "Not divided," "Divided by 6,"
"Divided by 3" or "Divided by 2" is automatically selected for every line according to the
print ratio. The width of half a dot may not be printed on the line when switching among
"Not divided," "Divided by 2" and "Divided by 3" and "Divided by 6." Therefore, do not
designate "3: Auto1" when a serial barcode is printed.
