* Default setting, programmable by command
• To change the paper width, the 40 mm roll paper guide is required. (
"Changing the
Paper Width" on page 25
)
• Because some parts of the print head and the autocutter blade may contact the platen
and become worn out, you cannot change a smaller paper width to a larger one once
you start using the product.
• Printing speed may be slower, depending on items such as the print data, head
temperature, and energization parting.
• As vertical barcodes and two-dimensional symbols are printed after the specified
speed is reached, paper may be fed unprinted for a maximum of 10 dot lines.
