Define CR Code

The Define CR code option controls the action of the printer when it receives
a Carriage Return code (hex 0D) from the host computer. If this feature is
enabled, each time the printer receives a Carriage Return, it inserts an
additional Line Feed code (hex 0A) into the data stream. Do not use this
feature if the host computer sends Line Feeds to the printer.
•
CR = CR. Does not insert an extra Line Feed after each Carriage Return.
•
CR = CR + LF. Inserts an extra Line Feed after each Carriage Return.

Auto LF

This option defines the printer actions when print data is received past the
forms width setting.
•
Enable. Performs an automatic carriage return and line feed when data is
received past the forms width.
•
Disable. Discards any data past the forms width.
Define LF Code
The Define LF code option controls the action of the printer when it receives a
Line Feed code (hex 0A) from the host computer. If this feature is enabled,
each time the printer receives a Line Feed, it inserts an additional Carriage
Return code (hex 0D) into the data stream. This feature can be used in most
installations, but it is required if the host computer does not send Carriage
Returns to the printer.
•
LF = CR + LF. Adds an extra Carriage Return with each Line Feed.
•
LF = LF. Does not add a Carriage Return with a Line Feed.

Printer Select

•
Disable. Ignores the ASCII DC1 and DC3 control codes.
•
Enable. Disables the printer when a DC1 control code is received, and
enables the printer when a DC3 control code is received.
20 CPI Condensed
Compressed print characters are narrower than the normal character set.
This is helpful for applications for which you need to print the maximum
amount of information on a page.
•
Enable. Prints about 60 percent of the width of normal characters when
compressed print is chosen by the host computer. For example, a 12 cpi
font will compress to 20 cpi.
•
Disable. Does not compress print widths, even if condensed print is
chosen by the host.
Alt. Set 80-9F
•
Control Code. Interprets data in the range of hex 80 through hex 9F as a
control code.
•
Printable. Prints data in the range of hex 80 through hex 9F.
