PRINTER CONTROL
Compatibility
This parameter allows you to make 6700 series thermal printers compatible
with other printers.
When trying to preserve compatibility with respect to barcodes, you may not
always be able to make them equal in size. This is due to the various dot-per-
inch differences between printer types. When an exact match cannot be
made, the barcode is reduced in size so that the form bounds will not be
compromised and the barcode will be readable.
•
Default. Use for optimum performance.
•
Laser. Forces the output to correspond with the IBM laser line of printers.
•
P5000. Forces the output to correspond with the 6500 line of line matrix
printers.
•
T3000. Forces the output to correspond with the T3000 line of thermal
printers.
•
T1006. Forces the output to correspond with the T1006 line of thermal
printers.
The factory default is Default.
Set Sharing
This option allows character sets to be shared between the active LP+
protocol and the active emulation. If CT is installed and active, choosing a
character set in the CT activates that character set in the active emulation and
LP+ protocols. (These changes are not visible on the front panel.) If Set
Sharing is not selected, only the LP+ protocol will share the CT's character
set.
Switching host interfaces from CT to Centronics when Set Sharing is enabled
causes the LP+ protocol character set to change to the same character set as
the active emulation, if possible.
In a non-CT system, changing character sets in the LP+ protocol causes the
active emulation to change to the same character set if the selected set exists
in the active emulation. If the active emulation has no access to the selected
set, no changes are made. Selecting a new character set in the active
emulation causes the LP+ protocol to change to the same character set if the
selected character set exists in the active LP+ protocol. Not all sets are
shared between emulations in the Standard group of character sets. As a
result, selecting a set in the Standard group of the LP+ protocol or active
emulation may or may not cause the other emulation to have the same set.
NOTE: The front panel option, Set Sharing, has no effect on the LP+ and
The options are Disable (the factory default) and Enable.

CT/LP+ builds. The option only applies to the builds with PPI/ZGL.
