3-47 ● Setting high-speed printing
3.10 Setting high-speed printing
(1) Overview
● With the character size setting is 5x7 dots, and print line is set to 2 or 3 lines, three
modes of HM, NM or QM can be selected with the setting of particle use
percentage: 1/1.
By selecting the mode, high quality printing result can be ensured according to the
linespeed.
HM mode NM mode Remarks
HM mode is equivalent
to particle use
percentage of 1/1.
In the 2-line print
setting, NM mode is
equivalent to ink drop
use percentage of 1/1.5.
If the line speed
remains the same, print
width in the NM mode
will widen by 1.5 times
with respect to HM
mode.
Necessary conditions to perform high-speed printing
● When all necessary conditions from No. 1 to 6 are satisfied, high-speed printing
HM, NM or QM mode can be selected.
1
No. Item Conditions
1 Character size Character size of all print items is 5x7.
2 Print line
Number of lines in all columns is 2 lines or 3
lines.
3 Line spacing line spaces in all columns are the same.
4 Barcode Bar code is not set for any print items.
5 Character orientation Set value of character orientation is "0" or "1".
6 Ink drop use percentage Ink drop use percentage: 1/1
Type of high-speed print and number of vertical dots used
● Number of vertical dots used in high-speed printing is shown in Table below.
● When calculating printing preparation time, etc., pay attention to number of
vertical dots.
