IPDS Feature
Table 3 lists the maximum number of characters that can be printed for a
given Characters Per Inch (CPI) setting.
IMPORTANT
If the form width is set in characters and the CPI is changed, the
effective page width is changed to be equal to the form width in
characters divided by the new CPI.
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 (the default). No extra line feeds are inserted.
CR = CR + LF. Inserts an extra line feed after each carriage return.
Auto LF
Defines the printer actions when print data is received past the form width
setting.
Disable (the default). Discards any data past the form width.
Enable. Performs an automatic carriage return and line feed when data is
received past the form width.
Define LF Code
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 (the default). Adds an extra carriage return with each line
feed.
LF = LF. Does not add a carriage return with a line feed.
