14. TM-T88IV to TM-T90 Comparison
The TM-T88IV does not replace the TM-T90
Additional features of TM-T90
Full cut
Upright mount
Longer life & MCBF
Selectable roll width
Larger roll diameter
Smaller foot print

15. TM-T88 MKIII to MKIV Transition
Graphics Management Capabilities
MKIV Supports contiguous and indexed NVRAM logo storage
Contiguous NVRAM logo storage
Works the same as TM-T88III
Applications developed for MKIII can keep using this method on MKIV
All logos are stored sequentially
To update or delete a logo is an all-or-none operation
Indexed NVRAM logo storage
Not available on TM-T88III
Logos are assigned a unique identifier key code
Logos are individually stored and can be updated or deleted individually
Additional development may be required to take advantage of this method

16. Notes Note about interface options
Full print graphics speed may not be achieved when using a serial interface option
Specifically relevant to graphics intensive applications that do not use NVRAM for logos or those that use Windows driver printing
To achieve best printing performance use parallel or other high bandwidth interface option (Ethernet, USB, etc)

17. Notes
Achieving best printing performance with graphics intensive applications
MKIV with Serial interface
Use NVRAM stored graphics
MKIV with other interface option
Print graphics direct to the printer
Suitable for Windows driver printing
Or use NVRAM stored logos
