5-3 Miscellaneous Notes

nNotes on printing and paper feeding

(1)Because the TM-L60 is a line printer, it automatically feeds paper after printing the data.

When the line spacing is set to a small value, the paper may be fed more than the set amount to print the data.

For example, when the line spacing is set to 10 dots (10/180 inch), the printer feeds just 10 dots for a carriage return; but 24 dots is fed when printing normal characters using Font A. (Refer to Table 5-l.)

When all the characters on one line are rotated, refer to Table 5-2 for paper feeding.
