Replacement of the TM-T88IV
The TM-T88V is designed so that it can smoothly replace the TM-T88IV. This chapter describes
precautions for the replacement.
Compatibility
Printing
The printing and character specifications are the same as those of the TM-T88IV. Without special
configurations, the TM-T88V prints the same results as the TM-T88IV prints.
Print Density
The print density of the TM-T88V can be set with DIP switches (2-3/2-4) as can the TM-T88IV.
Set the density the same as for the TM-T88IV to print in the same print density.
Two-Color Printing
You cannot use the paper for two-color printing (P320RB/P320BB) with the TM-T88V, which you
can use with the TM-T88IV.
Number of Head Energizing Parts
For the TM-T88V, the initial setting of the number of head energizing parts is “One-part
energizing.” You can change the setting with the customized value (See "Setting the Memory
Switches (Customized Value)" on page 48.); however it does not usually need to be changed.
The print density can be set also with a customized value. The initial setting of the
customized value is “Depends on the DIP switch settings.” If the customized value is
changed, the value set with the customized value is enabled. (See "Setting the Memory
Switches (Customized Value)" on page 48.)
