• If the print density is set to “Darker than standard” or “Dark” level, printing speed may be

reduced.

• If the print density is set to “Darker than standard” or “Dark” level, paper dust will

accumulate on the print head and print may be faint. For information on how to clean the

thermal head, see "Cleaning the Thermal Head" on page 106.

• The print density can be set with DIP switches (2-3/2-4) or the customized value. (See

"Setting the Memory Switches/Receipt Enhancement" on page 65.) The initial setting of

the customized value is “Depends on the DIP switch settings.” If the customized value is

changed, the value set with the customized value is enabled.
