Page 27 Use the drop-down button to select the desired print direction. Use the drop-down button to select the trigger mode of reverse print. Software trigger mode: The print direction controlled by the software, used with “Reverse repeat”. External Trigger mode: This is controlled by an external I/O signal.
Page 28 Reverse repeat is how many it prints before the print direction changes, when the printer works in software trigger mode. Increasing or decreasing the Height will raise or lower the text height.100 is the maximum height. Setting Height too low may cause ink build-up on the gutter rube and affect print quality.
