Average approx. 1.8 A
4800, 9600, 19200, 38400,
(2400 discontinued, 38400 added).

11 pages including WPC 1252,
PC866 [Cyrillic #2], PC852 [Latin2])
Also can be operated by the driver for
the TM-T88II. Functions, however, are
restricted as follows:
• Some baud rates cannot be used in
serial communications (38400 bps,
2400 bps).
Note: The driver cannot set a
38400 bps baud rate. Selecting
a 2400 bps baud rate with the
driver will cause garbled
characters (the printer does not
support a 2400 bps baud rate).
TM-T88II (legacy model)
Approx. 120 mm/s (4.72") maximum
Average approx. 1.7 A
2400, 4800, 9600, 19200
