Override Host
Determines whether the printer executes certain commands sent by the host,
or continues to use the current settings. The following host commands are
ignored when OVERRIDE HOST is enabled: line length, forms length, lines
per inch (LPI), characters per inch (CPI), print quality, and text orientation (i.e.
left to right). When OVERRIDE HOST is enabled, these settings retain their
operator panel settings.
•
Disable (the default). Allows certain host commands (line length, forms
length, LPI, CPI, print quality, and text orientation) to override operator
panel settings. Note that the information appearing on the message
display may not match the data stream setting. No values will change
upon initial selection of the disable option.
•
Enable. Permits operator panel settings to override host data stream
commands.
Format Control
Enables the printer to reflect the same spacing as 6408/6412 Model CT0
printers after absolute and relative move commands are executed. The
following options are available:
•
Disable (the default). Does not reflect distance, generated by the Code V
feature, IGP feature, and Hex Transparent control code sequence, in the
new position (after absolute and relative move commands are executed).
•
Enable. Reflects 6408/6412 Model CT0 distance, generated by the Code
V feature, IGP feature, and Hex Transparent control code sequence, in
the new position (after absolute and relative move commands are
executed).
Maximum Printable Width
Sets the maximum width of the printer when using a CT host interface.
•
13.2 Inches (the default)
•
13.6 Inches
NOTE: The 5250 interface menu and 3270 interface menu option for
150
maximum printable width use the same internal variable. Setting this
option in either menu will make it the current setting for the printer,
independent of the interface used.
Although the LP+ emulation maintains width in characters, the
maximum printable width in characters is controlled by the same
internal variable that is set by the 5250 interface menu and 3270
interface menu option for maximum printable width option.
