ed from the power OFF.
Pressing the POWER button while the state of USB-linked power OFF turns on power nor-
mally.
Paper saving functions
Memory switches MSW8-3 through MSW8-4 can be used to congure the settings
below, which save paper.
Top margin suppression
The printer back feeds the paper before printing which reduces the blank space
at the top edge of the paper.
The back feed amount can be specied.
Line gap reduce
Automatically compresses the linefeed amount between lines. The compression
ratio can be specied.
——
20
CAUTION
Remove the partially cut paper before performing back feed for starting printing.
The cut paper may be torn off in the next printing process, which may cause a problem.
Auto side shift (MSW8-6)
This function dissipates heat load during frequent heat generation by a vertical
ruled line or other specic head heating element.
If no data is received within 15 seconds after each cut or print, the print position is
automatically slid N* dots to the right. The original print position is returned to at the
next slide timing.
* N is the MSW8-6 setting value.
CAUTION
If the right margin is too narrow, this may result in some print characters being cut off.
This function is disabled under initial settings.
To enable this function, use MSW8-6 to specify an appropriate value for the maximum slide
amount.
