*3) Print Startup Control
This function either starts print startup control in page units, or selects print startup in line units.
When line units are selected, printing starts immediately, but some print data may be missing.
When page units are selected, intermittent printing does not occur until the length of the image buffer (single color:
300mm; 2-color: 150mm). However, compared to when line units are selected, print startup is slower.
When intermittent printing occurs, print quality will degrade (white lines, or the like can form), or the printer will become
noisier.
Depending on the I/F, the following settings will differ.

*4) 180˚ Inversion Function
If the print data length is less than 300 mm (150 mm for 2-color mode) when this function is valid, printing is inverted
180˚ by the following triggers.
If the print data length is more than 300 mm, the 180˚ inversion function is ignored.
Also, if the following 180˚ inversion trigger command is not sent consecutively after sending print data, the 180˚
inversion function is ignored.
