Primary Char. Set
You can select one of 92 pre-defined character sets by ID (although character sets range from 0 - 109,
not all sets are available on the LJ500 printer), or you can select pitch, symbol set, and typeface
individually. If the combination you choose matches one of the 92 predefined sets, the ID submenu will
reflect that selection. If not, the ID menu will display
match a pre-defined set. Set 0 is the default, and its attributes are 10 cpi, Data Processing typeface, and
Roman 8 symbol set.
Second Char. Set
Your printer can store an additional character set. To toggle between them, send the Shift In (Decimal 15,
to select the Primary character set) or Shift Out (Decimal 14, to select the Secondary character set).
Page Length Rep.
•
Inches/Page (factory default). All page length calculations are based on the inches displayed on the
panel.
•
Lines/Page. All changes in LPI or density will be changed accordingly. The length of the page is the
number of lines per inch, or lpi.
For example, if the form in use is 82 lines at 6 lpi, the page is physically 13.67 inches. Since 13.67
inches is not selectable from the Length in Inches menu, change the representation to lines, then set
the number of lines to 82. The inches menu will display 13.6 inches although the printer internally
keeps the exact form length of 13.67 inches.
Max Line Width
Set the maximum line width at 13.2 inches (factory default) or 13.6 inches.
Face CPI Delay
Allows the combination of different font densities on the same line.
•
Enable (factory default). Different font densities can be used on the same line.
•
Disable. Only the same font densities are allowed on the same line.
Graphics Density
Graphics can be printed in 60 DPI (factory default) or 70 DPI.
Perforation Skip
•
Disable (factory default). Allows printing on page perforation.
•
Enable. You may set up a skip-over margin. For example, a skip-over margin of one inch creates a
one inch margin at the bottom of the page.
Display Functions
•
Disable (factory default). Control characters are not printed.
•
Enable. Control characters are printed before they get executed. This is a useful debugging tool.
Line Terminator
You can define the action of the line. Four options are available: LF after CR, CR after LF, CR after FF,
and CR after VT. Each of these options may be enabled or disabled independent of one another.
PTX Linefeed
•
Disable (factory default). Linefeed is to be performed as calculated from the bottom of the graphics or
barcode, thereby disrupting the vertical text alignment.
