ZQ300 Series User Guide
Power Save Mode
Power Save Mode refers to a state the printer will enter when
the battery is under duress. Under normal operation with a
healthy fully charged battery, the printer will load the entire
printhead while printing a line of data.
As the battery’s health declines (due to low voltage or cold tem-
perature) the printer will change its printing strategy in a way that
breaks up the print line into smaller segments that it can print
safely without shutting down the battery. In this mode the user
may experience slower printing.
The Power Save feature can be enabled/disabled via the SGD
command: print.cold _ temp _ comp.
Draft Mode
Draft Mode printing is optimized for printing receipts comprised
of text only with no reverse image, black ll or barcodes present.
Draft mode is designed to operate at temperatures between
ambient and the maximum thermal range of the printer. For test-
ing/grading purposes, draft mode shall print a single Code 39 bar-
code, 2-dot narrow, minimum 2 characters, horizontal
orientation at Temperatures = 25
o
C to 55°C, with no breakup or
separation on receipt media only.
The Draft Mode default is set to “off”. The user can congure
the printer to print in Draft Mode via SGD command:
media.draft _ mode.
