Overview of Each Function
Print Density
Monochrome
Selectable from 70% to 130% (5% increment)
Initial setting: 100%
Depending on the paper type, it is recommended to set the print density as shown in the table below for the best
print quality.
Multi-Tone
Selectable from 70% to 130% (5% increment)
Initial setting: 100%
Print Speed
• High Speed (500 mm/s)
• Standard Speed (450 mm/s)
• Middle Speed (350 mm/s)
Supported papers Print density
AP45KS-ND, AP50KS-ND, KT55PF 100%
KT48FA, KT55FA, KT48PF, P5047(55) 110%
When the print density level is increased, print speed may be reduced.
• With multi-tone printing, 13-stage printing is available.
• Set the monochrome print density first before setting the multi-tone print density.
• The print speed is restricted according to the Number of head energizing parts setting.
The maximum 500 mm/s is possible with the One-part energizing (default) option.
The Number of head energizing parts setting can be changed using ESC/POS commands. ("ESC/
POS"
on page 77)
• The maximum
printing speed when using 58 mm is 450 mm/s.
• When setting the print speed to "High Speed", set the print density to the recommended setting
to ensure good print quality.
• Depending on print conditions, such as print duty, print head temperature, and data transmis-
sion speed, print speed is automatically adjusted, which may cause white lines due to intermit-
tent print (the motor sometimes stops). To avoid this, keep the print speed constant by setting it
lower.
• By using a setting tool such as TM-m50II Utility, the print speed can be selected from 17 levels
(from the slowest level 1 to the fastest level 17). (Default setting: level 16)
