To check operational readiness, your
printer contains a self-test routine which
allows testing of the printer
configuration, the print quality and
correct operation of your printer.
With the interface test
(Hex-Dump/H-Dump) you can test data
transmission from the computer to the
printer. During this test, the data from the
computer is printed out in two columns.
The text in the left column is printed in
hexadecimal format and in the right
column in ASCII format.
The Formlen function allows you to set
the basic (default) form length to meet
your requirements. 11 inches are usual
in the USA, as opposed to 12 inches in
Europe.
Permanent (physical) setting of the left
margin. This parameter cannot be
changed by emulation dependent
margin settings. Margin setting values
entered by ESC sequences are added to
the Physlm.
Parameter "PLM". This item's full name
is Paper Load Mode. It is located
beneath the already existing menu item
"Paphand" (Paper Handling).
This setting enables (on) / disables (off)
a horizontal carriage movement in order
to flatten the paper so it finds its way into
the upper friction.
However the movement is determined
by the menu items Pagewid & Widthcon.
If Widthcon = Off
Narrow: The movement of carriage goes
all the way = 8"
Wide: The movement of carriage goes
all the way = 13.6"
If Widthcon = On
Narrow/Wide: The movement of carriage
goes rightmost to Pagewid Position
This function is ON by default and is
valid for Rear Tractor only.
