Electrical Characteristics
Supply voltage DC 24V ± 7%
Current consumption
(when using the PS-180
at 24V)
Standby Mean: Approximately. 0.1 A
Operating Slip printing Mean: Approximately. 1.7 A
Receipt printing Mean: Approximately. 1.8 A
Note: When print ratio is approximately 18%
Continuous printing for 30 lines (repeating 20H-
7FH)
Font A, 42 columns, ASCII character
5 line feeding
Autocutting
If printing is continuously performed with a high ratio, the overcurrent protection may be acti-
vated and result in uneven print density or a low voltage error. Therefore, the printing length
must not exceed the following values when printing with high print ratio.
Print ratio: Number of dots being energized per one dot line/Total number of dots per one dot
line (512 dots)
Print ratio 80% 100%
