Printer setting descriptions

This section describes all the settings available in the Printer
Setting mode.
Character table
Character tables contain the characters and symbols used in
different languages. Your printer includes a wide variety of
character tables. See the Appendix for specific characters.
Page length
This option is available only when you use continuous paper
with the tractor. You can set the page length to 8 1/2, 11, 12, or
70/6 (the length of A4 paper) inches.
Skip-over-perforation
When you turn on this feature, the printer skips over the
perforations of continuous paper, providing a 1-inch margin
between the last line printed on one page and the first line
printed on the next. Because most software programs set their
own top and bottom margins, you should use this feature only
if your program does not provide them. This feature does not
affect single-sheet paper.
Auto tear off
When you use continuous paper with the push tractor, this
feature advances the paper perforation to the tear-off position
where you can easily tear off the printed pages. When the
printer receives data, it automatically reverses the paper to the
top-of-form position and starts printing, so you can use all of
the next sheet. When you use the tractor to print on labels, set
this feature to Off.
