Notes 1) The mechanism can handle paper widths of 79.5 ±0.5 to 111.5 ±0.5 mm. However, it is recommended that a print layout is set that allows plenty of print margin on the left and right sides for the paper that is used. Also, the standard position of printing to the paper width is center of the paper width.

Left and right margins in the printing region are recommended to be a minimum of 3.75 mm.

2)When using a paper width that is less than the maximum print width of the head (104 mm), consider the recording paper feeding state so that the print region does not leave both edges of the recording paper.

(5)	Print Format:	Maximum 69 columns (12 ⋅ 24 fonts)
		Maximum 34 columns (24 ⋅ 24 Chinese character fonts)
		(Only on Chinese character models)
