5.2 Print Specifications (TM-T88II/TM-T88III)
lps: lines per second
*1: During printing (at 24 V, 28°C {82.4°F}, density level 2). Note, however, the print speed automatically changes
with the voltage applied to the printer and with the head temperature conditions.
Note:
The print speed sometimes slows down, depending on the data transfer speed and other settings.
A slow baud rate is a probable cause of intermittent printing. We recommend using a faster baud rate.
