For Serial Interface
When using the built-in USB interface, it is not necessary to change the DIP switch setting but
their function changes. For the details, see "For Built-in USB Interface" on page 43.
DIP Switch Bank 1
Transmission Speed (DIP Switches 1-7/1-8)
bps: bits per second
* When DIP switches 1-7 and 1-8 are set to ON, the value (initially 38400) can be set to any of the
values listed in the lower portion of the row using a command, memory switch setting mode, or
TM-T88V Utility. ( See "Setting the Memory Switches (Customized Value)" on page 48.)

Depending on print conditions, such as print duty, print head temperature, and data
transmission speed, print speed is automatically adjusted, which can cause white lines due
to intermittent print (the motor sometimes stops). To avoid this, set the transmission speed
higher or keep the print speed constant by setting it lower.
