We report the plasma radiation loss power and impurity line emissions in the toroidal pinch experiment RX, TPE-RX under various plasma current ($I_{\text{p}}$) conditions. The emissivity at the off-axis chords is stronger than that at the central chord, and the plasma radiation profile is hollow. These trends are clearer at higher $I_{\text{p}}$. Although the plasma density increases with $I_{\text{p}}$, the radiation fraction remains constant at approximately 15% in the range of $I_{\text{p}}$ studied. The input power increases with $I_{\text{p}}$. However, the increment cannot be explained entirely by the increment of the radiation loss power, which increases in proportion to the input power. At higher $I_{\text{p}}$, the emissions from impurities of both high and low atomic number ($Z$) increase. The increase of the line emission of these impurities reflects the increase of the plasma wall interaction.
