To protect the service life of the thermal head, use the following printing rate as a guideline; use the fixed split (6-split) method. 1. Continuous print of high-energy print only : 6 % or less 2. Mixed continuous print of low-energy and high-energy print : 30 % or less of the standard printing rate of 12.5 % 3. Printing rate per dot line : 50 % or less (3) Minimum dots for high-energy print When high-energy print is used, the recommended minimum area is 3 dots (length) . 3 dots (width) or more. Depending on the set printing density, the paper used, or the printing characters, a sufficient change of color tone may not be obtained even by high-energy print. (Characters such as [, !, ', (, i, -, font B with small dot matrix) It is recommended to use in such printing patterns as double-width characters, double-height characters, double-width and -height characters. CAUTIONS 1) If high-energy print is continuously carried out at a high operating ambient temperature, the thermal head will become hot more quickly and the protective circuit will be activated, to stop printing more frequently. Fully consider the working temperature and printing rate. 2) If a bar code is printed on the 2-color paper, both colors may appear in normal print and high-energy print, or the bar code may not be correctly read by a bar code reader. Be fully aware of this when using the 2color paper. 3) Do not perform high-energy print on the single-color paper (regular thermal paper). It may deteriorate the service life of the thermal head or the printing quality. 4) For setting, see Commands (DC3: Switching the Red/Black Printing). CBM-270 User’s Manual 5. DIP SWITCH SETTING 5.1 Location of DIP Switch 1. Turn off the power. 2. Detach the printer cover, and take out the paper roll. (The switch is found under the paper roll.) 3. There are 2 switches (8-pole and 4-pole) for the serial interface, and 1 switch (8-pole) for the parallel interface. 5.2 DIP Switch Function DS1 No. Function ON OFF Upon Shipment 1 PNE selection Enabled Disabled ON 2 CR switching LF operation Ignored OFF 3 ON 4 Print density See Table 1 OFF 5 Paper selection Label paper Thermal paper OFF 6 Auto-loading Enabled Disabled ON 7 DTR/DSR, XON/XOFF XON/XOFF DTR/DSR OFF 8 Kanji code selection S-JIS JIS OFF .
