  • Page 12 speed will be dragged down drastically since the motor has to be stopped frequently. Avoiding such drawbacks can free the printer from trembling and degraded performance. However, if it is impossible to avoid this for the serial interface printer, increasing the baud rate to 115,200 bps in the host system setup and changing the switch positions 1 to OFF and position 2 to ON in the printer setup window may help.
