Printer Configuration
Some printers have option switches which must be correctly set.
These
switches may be on an external control panel, on a control panel under the
printer cover, or buried on circuit boards inside the printer. Common switches
include:
AUTO LF or LOCAL LF (makes printer line feed upon receiving a
carriage return code): MUST BE OFF.
AUTO CR (makes printer start a new line if an overlong line is printed):
OFF recommended.
SPEED:
must match the rate at which your computer transmits
chara~ters.
PARITY: set to ignore parity (11M" position on some printers).
Com munications Protocol: a "com munications protocol" must be used
with (serial) daisy wheel and similar printers interfaced at 1200 baud
(120 characters per second), as discussed previously. With many printers,
use of a communications protocol requires setting switches or adding
jumpers on circuit boards inside the printer. See Appendix A: Specific
Printers and your printer manufacturer's documentation.
FORM LENGTH: should be set to match paper in use if USE FORM
FEEDS printer option is to be used.
SET TOP: press after positioning paper at top of form, if USE FORM
FEEDS print option is to be used.
