Autowrap
This option defines the printer action when print data is received past the forms width setting.
•
With LF+CR (factory default). Performs an automatic carriage return and line feed when data is
received past the forms width, causing the excess text to print on the next line.
•
With CR. Performs an automatic carriage return (without line feed) when data is received past the
forms width.
•
Disable. Discards any data past the forms width.
Overstrike
This option enables you to print bold characters.
•
Enable (factory default). Turns on bold print. When enabled, overstrike printing slows down the
printer.
•
Disable. Turns off bold print.
Define LF Code
•
LF = CR + LF (factory default). Forces an automatic carriage return with each line feed command.
The next print position is print position 1 of the next line.
•
LF = LF. Does not perform an automatic carriage return. The next print position will be the current
print position of the next line.
P-Series SFCC
This parameter allows you to select which ASCII codes will function as the Special Function Control Code
(SFCC) command delimiter.
P-Series codes can use hex 00 through hex 7F. Options include the following:
•
ESC (hex 1B)
•
SOH (hex 01)
•
ETX (hex 03)
•
CIRCUMFLEX (hex 5E)—also called caret (^)
•
TILDE (hex 7E)—(~)
NOTE: SOH, ETX, and ESC are non-printables. The characters (^) and (~) are printable; however, do not
use them as printables in the host data stream if either is chosen as a delimiter because print
errors will occur.
VFU Select
Controls how the printer handles vertical formatting.
•
EVFU (factory default). Enables the VFU and selects P-Series compatible Electronic Vertical Format
Unit (EVFU).
•
DVFU. Enables the VFU and selects the Dataproducts compatible Direct Access Vertical Format Unit
(DVFU).
•
CVFU. Enables the VFU and selects the Centronics compatible Direct Access Vertical Format Unit
(CVFU).
•
Disable. Disables all VFU processing.
