(default)

 

 

 

 

 

Character size

Standard/Double-height/Double-width/Double-width and Double-height

 

Font A: 1.69 × 3.38 mm/1.69 × 6.77 mm/3.38 × 3.38 mm/3.38 × 6.77 mm

 

Font B: 1.27 × 2.40 mm/1.27 × 4.79 mm/2.54 × 2.40 mm/2.54 × 4.79 mm

 

 

Number of characters

Alphanumeric characters: 95; International characters: 48

 

Extended graphics: 128 × 11 pages (including user-defined page)

 

 

 

Printing speed

High-speed mode:

 

 

170 mm/s {6.69"/s} max.; 40.2 lps (4.23 mm {1/6"} feed)

 

Ladder bar code and 2D code: 100 mm/s {3.9"/s}

 

Low-power consumption mode:

 

150 mm/s {5.91"/s} max.; 35.5 lps (4.23 mm feed {1/6"})

 

Bit image, Ladder bar code, 2D code and Page mode: 60mm/s {2.4"/s}

 

The above speed values are approximate.

 

The values are when the printer prints with density "Normal" at 24 V and

 

25°C {77°F}

 

 

 

Speed is adjusted automatically depending on the voltage applied and

 

head temperature.

 

 

 

Paper feed speed

Approx. 170 mm/s {approx. 6.69"/s} continuous paper feed

 

 

 

 

Line spacing (default)

4.23 mm {1/6"}

Font A: 12 × 24, Font B: 9 × 17

 

 

Font A is the default.
