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 or a command to setthe memory switches.
• For detailed information about the memory switch utility, see the user’s manual for the
Memory Switch Setting Utility.
• For detailed information about ESC/POS commands, see the ESC/POS Application
Programing Guide.
Selecting the print density
Selectable from levels 1 to 13 (light∼ dark).
The print density can be set with DIP switches (2-3/2-4) or the customized value. (See
"Setting the Memory Switches" on page 38.) 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.
Selecting the print speed
Selectable from levels 1 to 9 (low ∼ high). (Initial setting: level 9)
Depending on print conditions such as print duty, print head temperature, or data
transmission speed, 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, or set the transmission speed higher in case of the serial
interface. (See "Transmission speed (DIP switch 1-7/1-8)" on page 33.)
Selecting the number of head energizing parts
•One-part energizing
•Two-part energizing
•Four-part energizing
•Auto energizing (Initial setting)
Usually, the number of head energizing parts does not need to be changed.

Application Development Information
This chapter describes how to control the printer and gives informationuseful for printer
application development.
How to Control the Printer
Use a driver or ESC/POS commands to control the printer.
Selecting a Driver
Choose one of the drivers, Advanced Printer Driver (APD) or OPOS ADK, depending on the
application operating environment. You cannot control the same printer with both of the drivers.
For information aboutthe driver operating environment, see the installation manual for each
driver.
When you newly develop an application
•Use APD if you want to print TrueType fonts or print much graphics.
•OPOS ADK is recommended for system extensibility. A n OPOS driver is provided for various
peripherals and itis now a POS industry standard. It enables efficient POS system
establishment, reduction of development cost
, and effective use of application assets.
When APD is used for your existing application
Use APD.
When OPOS ADK is used for your existing application
Use OPOS ADK.
You can use all functions including ones not supported by OPOS ADK or APD by using a
driver with ESC/POS commands. Use the DIRECT I/O function of OPOS ADK, the control
A command of APD, or Status API to send ESC/POS commands from each driver. (See
"ESC/POS command functions" on page 52.)

51
ESC/POS Command
ESC/POS is the Epson original printer command system. With ESC/POS commands, you can
directly control all the TM printer functions, but detailed knowledge of printer specifications or
combination of commands is required compared to using a driver.
To use ESC/POS commands, you need to make a nondisclosure cont
ract first and get the
ESC/POS Application Programing Guide. Ask your dealer for details.
The ESC/POS command functions are listed as follows. See the ESC/POS Application
