Page length for tractor
This setting allows you to set the page length
(in inches) for the continuous paper loaded
on the tractor.
Skip over perforation
This feature is available only when
continuous paper is selected as the paper
source. When you turn on this feature, the
printer provides a one-inch (25.4 mm)
margin between the last line printed on one
page and the first line printed on the next
page. Because most application program
margin settings override margin settings
from the control panel, you should use this
setting only if you cannot set your top and
bottom margins using your application.
Auto tear-off
When auto tear-off is on and you are using
continuous paper with the tractor, the
printer automatically advances the paper
perforation to the tear-off position, where
you can easily tear off the printed page(s).
When the printer receives data again, it
automatically moves the paper back to the
top-of-form position and starts printing, so
you can use all of the next page.
When auto tear-off is off and you are using
continuous paper with the tractor, you need
to move the perforation to the tear-off
position manually by pressing the Tear
Off/Special Paper button. See "Using the
tear-off function" for more information.
Auto line feed
When auto line feed is on, the printer
accompanies each carriage return (CR) code
received with a line feed (LF) code.
EPSON DLQ-3500 Quick Guide
Print direction
You can select auto print direction,
bidirectional printing (Bi-D), or
unidirectional printing (Uni-D). Printing is
normally bidirectional; however,
unidirectional printing allows for precise
vertical printing alignment.
Software
When you select ESC/P2, the printer
operates in the EPSON ESC/P2 mode. When
you select IBM PPDS, the printer emulates an
IBM printer.
0 slash
Select the zero character with a slash
(this feature is on) or without a slash (0) (this
feature is off). The slash allows you to easily
distinguish between the uppercase letter
"O" and a zero.
High speed draft
When high speed draft is on, the printer
prints up to 550 cps (characters per second)
at 10 cpi (characters per inch). When it is off,
the printer prints 495 cps at 10 cpi.
I/F (interface) mode
The printer provides a slot for an optional
interface in addition to its built-in parallel
interface and USB interface. You can choose
Auto (automatic), Parallel, USB or Option
for the interface mode. When you select
Auto, the printer automatically selects the
interface that is receiving data, and uses that
interface until the end of the print job. The
Auto setting allows you to share the printer
among multiple computers without
changing the interface mode.
If only one computer is connected to the
printer, you can select Parallel, USB or
Option, depending on which interface your
computer uses.
