NOTES: Changes in DIP switch settings (excluding switch 2-8, interface reset signal) are recognized only when the printer power is turned on or when the printer is reset by using the interface. If the DIP switch setting is changed after the printer power is turned on, the change does not take effect until the printer is turned on again or is reset.

If the DIP switch 2-8 is turned on while the printer power is turned on, the printer may be reset, depending on the signal state. DIP switches should not be changed while the printer power is on.

If the print density is set to level 2 or 3, printing speed is inclined to be low speed.

In a low power consumption, printing speed is fixed to 70 mm/s.
