Printing at a higher speed or at a higher resolution

The print speed and resolution can be changed depending on the combination of the type of tape
being used and the selected output setting. With HG tape, labels can be printed at an even faster
speed or higher resolution.

● When HG tape is used, printing can be performed at a faster speed or at a higher resolution than with
TZ tape.
● When HG tape is used with the "High Speed" setting selected, printing can be performed even faster.
However, since the resolution in the feed direction is reduced, this is not suitable for detailed printing.
● When HG tape is used with the "High Resolution" setting selected, printing can be performed with an
even higher resolution. This is suitable for detailed printing of objects such as graphics and curved lines.
● When printing bar codes, use the "Standard" setting, which has identical horizontal and vertical
resolutions.
Note
The print speeds listed above indicate the highest speeds possible. The actual speed may
●
differ depending on the operating conditions.
