Note : A recommended type of paper must be used. If a type of paper other than
a recommended one is used, head damage, printing irregularities, or
similar problems may occur.
Note : To use two-color thermal paper, set the print color to two colors from the
printer setup menu or using the setup tool contained on the CD-ROM
provided with the printer.
(See Example (3) in Section 10-2, "Setting Up the Printer.")
* By setting the appropriate property (use Color on the Graphics tab) for
printing with this printer driver, you can easily print in two-color mode
without having to change the printer setup.
Note : Ruled lines or characters containing fine lines (e.g. a serif typeface) tend to
have dull colors when they are printed on two-color thermal paper. For
printing on two-color thermal paper, a thick font (e.g., a sans serif font) is
recommended.
