.
The printing speed changes automatically depending on the applied voltage and head
temperature.
The maximum printing speed may not be achieved depending on the type of interface,
the setting of data transmission speed, and the combination of control commands.
If the data transmission speed is slower than the maximum printing speed, the printing
speed may fluctuate and the print result may become shaded and/or dot displacement in
paper feeding may occur. Furthermore, if the data transmission speed is much slower
than the maximum printing speed, intermittent printing will occur.
Especially when using a serial interface, low transmission speed may cause intermittent
printing. It is recommended to transmit data to the printer as quickly as possible.
