Adjustments and Settings

TM-T88II Series printers are set up at the factory to be appropriate for almost all users. There are, however, some settings for users with special requirements.

Your printer has DIP switches that allow you to change communication settings, such as handshaking and parity check, as well as print density.

TM-T88II Series printers also have a near-end sensor for the paper. This can warn you when the paper is almost out. If you find that there is not enough paper remaining on the roll when the near-end detector is triggered, you can change the near-end sensor setting.

See Appendix A, if you need to make any of these changes.
