Constant Speed Control:
The carriage motor constant speed depends on the constant speed set time, which varies with the
carriage speed mode. Printing is possible when the carriage moves at a constant speed. Table 2-10
shows the set times for constant carriage speed.
Deceleration Control:
The carriage motor is decelerated in accordance with the deceleration time table. The deceleration time
varies depending on the speed mode. The number of deceleration steps for each speed mode are the
same as the acceleration steps at the corresponding speed mode. Refer to Table 2-10.
High Speed Skip:
High speed skip causes the carriage to skip over blank areas at the high speed of 3840
PPS.
If a blank
area continues for nine characters (normal characters) or more after a print command (CR or LF
command) is received, the carriage is controlled to skip the area at the high speed of 3840
PPS.
As
the carriage comes to the end of the blank area, the carriage speed is lowered so that printing can be
started at the speed corresponding to the specified printing mode. Figure 2-40 shows the high speed
skip operation.
