bps: Indicates the number of bits transferred per second.
DIP switches 2 to 8 are for serial communication. Not used in parallel communication.
Note:
When using an OPOS or Advanced Printer Driver, do not change the DIP switch
When you set the baud rate with the memory switch, you can set faster communication than with the DIP switch. (Refer to “Communication Condition” on page
In serial communication, intermittent printing* may occur. This is because when the communication speed is low, a data transmission waiting state occurs frequently since the printing mechanism speed is high. Increasing the communication speed may reduce this symptom.
* Intermittent printing: White streaks as large as one or two hairs appear horizontally in a printing result.
