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 to set the memory switches.
Selecting the print density
Selectable from levels 1 to 13 (light dark).
Selecting the print speed
Selectable from levels 1 to 9 (low high). (Initial setting: level 9)
Selecting the number of head energizing parts
•One-part energizing
•Two-part energizing
•Four-part energizing
•Auto energizing (Initial setting)
For detailed information about the memory switch utility, see the user’s manual for the
Memory Switch Setting Utility.
To use the Memory Switch Setting Utility, connect the printer with a PC for setting via the
Micro-USB cable. Connecting the printer with a PC via a network is not possible.
The print density can be set with DIP switches (2-3/2-4) or the customized value. (See
"Setting the Memory Switches" on page 74.) 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.
Depending on print conditions such as print duty, print head temperature, or 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.
Usually, the number of head energizing parts does not need to be changed.
