Page length for tractor
This setting allows you to set the page length (in inches) for continuous paper.
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.
Auto tear off is available under the following conditions.
No print data is sent for more than three seconds after entering a page break by holding down the LF/FF button.
No print data is sent for more than three seconds after sending an FF command.
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.
Software
When you select ESC/P, the printer operates in the EPSON ESC/P mode. When you select IBM PPDS, the printer emulates an
IBM printer.
0 slash
The zero character has a slash ( ) when
distinguish between the uppercase letter O and a zero.
