Skip over perforation
This feature is available only when continuous paper is selected.
When you select On, 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 the program margin settings in
most applications override margin settings made 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 push tractor, the printer automatically advances the paper
perforation to the tear-off position, where you can easily tear off
the printed pages. When the printer receives the next print job, it
automatically moves the unused 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, you need to move the perforation to the
tear-off position by pressing the control panel button. See "Using
the Tear Off button" 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 code, and the print
position moves to the next line. If the printer adds an extra line
after every carriage return, select Off.
Print direction
You can select bidirectional printing (Bi-D) or unidirectional
printing (Uni-D). Printing is normally bidirectional for faster
printing; however, unidirectional printing allows for precise
vertical printing alignment, which is useful for printing graphics.
