When the print density level is increased, print speed may be reduced.
With multi-tone printing, 13-stage printing is available.
Set the monochrome print density first before setting the multi-tone print density.
The print speed is restricted according to the Number of head energizing parts setting.
The maximum 500 mm/s is possible with the One-part energizing (default) option.
The Number of head energizing parts setting can be changed using ESC/POS commands. (
"ESC/
POS" on page 77
)
The maximum printing speed when using 58 mm is 450 mm/s.
When setting the print speed to "High Speed", set the print density to the recommended setting
to ensure good print quality.
Depending on print conditions, such as print duty, print head temperature, and data transmis-
sion speed, print speed is automatically adjusted, which may cause white lines due to intermit-
tent print (the motor sometimes stops). To avoid this, keep the print speed constant by setting it
lower.
By using a setting tool such as TM-m50II Utility, the print speed can be selected from 17 levels
(from the slowest level 1 to the fastest level 17). (Default setting: level 16)
