Set a print direction.

#DIRECTION >01 : BI
(7) Condition pass setting (CONDITION PASS)
Selects a conditioning pass mode for the paper. When the print waiting condition continues for a long time, the faint print or print off may be caused by the wrinkle or smudge on the edge of the paper roll due to humidity and dust. Use this function to avoid these problems. Set parameters according to the operational condition. If there is no received data and the printer waits printing even though the specified time has passed, the edge of the paper roll is fed to the front of the rear cover automatically. (If the edge of the paper roll exists in the front of the rear cover already, this action will be skipped.) When the print data is received and print starts, the conditioning pass (the repetition of paper feeding and rewinding) is performed automatically. Also, when the printer is turned off, the edge of the paper roll is fed to the front of the rear cover automatically before turning off. (When using the winder, the printer is turned off immediately.)
#CONDITION PASS >01 : NONE

When the printer is left in the waiting condition for a long time, the print off due to wrinkles may be caused. - 30 min: The conditioning pass is performed at every 30 minutes. When the printer starts printing before 30 minutes interval, the condition pass is always performed at start of the printing. Select this parameter when the printer prints in a high humidity environment frequently and the paper is extremely wrinkled. - 1 hour: The conditioning pass is performed at every 1 hour. Select this parameter when the print interval is more than 1 hour and the paper is extremely wrinkled. - 2 hours: The conditioning pass is performed at every 2 hours. Select this parameter when the print interval is more than 2 hours and the paper is extremely wrinkled. - 4 hours: The conditioning pass is performed at every 4 hours.
