This driver provides you several Pre-defined Paper Sizes.
You can also create custom paper sizes with User-defined Paper Size using the Windows Printer Queue.
Each paper size is defined to be a specific width and height which denotes the printable area. You need not apply any margins to your documents.
The paper size(s) that include the word 'Receipt' in their name are intended for variable length print jobs, like receipts;
when using this paper size be sure to choose the 'Receipt' option of the Paper Type setting.
Your paper size configuration may be changed according to the current configuration of the applications you are using.
If there is not any paper size configuration within your application, please use the following setting.
Within Windows there are three different settings associated with your paper size choice.
It is best to set these all to the same option.
The pre-defined paper sizes which are provided by the TSP700II driver are shown below.
| Configuration Value | Default Value | Printing Width | Length |

Your printer supports two-color thermal paper.
You can configure it in the 'Print Mode' dialog by choosing the 'Raster' setting.
To enable two-color printing you must put two-color thermal paper into the printer and make the correct settings following the procedures below.
It is recommended that you configure the same value in 2 locations.
This printer driver provides the ability to change the Print Quality in order to change the print resolution.
The following is the procedure.
You may select from the following options.
| Configuration Value | Default Value | Details |
|---|---|---|
| 203 x 406 dots per inch | Print 203dpi (Width) 406dpi (Height). | |

Your printer supports a range of printer resident and barcode fonts.
These fonts are built into your printer and are selectable from within your application.
You can use these when the 'Print Mode' option is set to the 'Line' setting.
Using device fonts, you can get both high printing quality and high printing speed. The barcode fonts allow you to print barcodes by simply applying one of the barcode fonts to a section of your document; the text in that section describing the barcode's layout and data. The control font allows you to control various aspects of the printers behaviour, with specific behaviours mapped to specific characters printed using the control font.
