Epson T70 Setting the Memory Switches, Selecting the print density, Selecting the print speed

Setting the Memory Switches

With the “memory switch (customized value”), which is a software switch of this printer, you can set:

•Print density

•Print speed

•Number of head energizing parts

Use the Memory Switch Setting Utility or a command to set the memory switches.

•For detailed information about the memory switch utility, see the user’s manual for the

Memory Switch Setting Utility.

•For detailed information about ESC/POS commands, see the ESC/POS Application Programing Guide.

Selecting the print density

Selectable from levels 1 to 13 (light ∼ dark).

The print density can be set with DIP switches (2-3/2-4) or the customized value. (See "Setting the Memory Switches" on page 38.) The initial setting of the customized value is “Depends on the DIP switch settings.” If the customized value is once changed, value set with the customized value is enabled.

Selecting the print speed

Selectable from levels 1 to 9 (low ∼ high). (Initial setting: level 9)

Depending on print conditions such as print duty, print head temperature, or data transmission speed, print speed is automatically adjusted which may cause white lines due to intermittent print (the motor sometimes stops). To avoid this, keep the print speed constant by setting it lower, or set the transmission speed higher in case of the serial interface. (See "Transmission speed (DIP switch 1-7/1-8)" on page 33.)

Selecting the number of head energizing parts

•One-part energizing

•Two-part energizing

•Four-part energizing

•Auto energizing (Initial setting)

Usually, the number of head energizing parts does not need to be changed.
