Skip over perforation
This feature is available only when continuous paper is selected as the paper source. When you
turn on this feature, 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 most application program
margin settings override margin settings 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.
When auto tear off is off, you need to move the perforation to the tear off position by pressing the
control panel button.
Auto tear off wait time
You can select the time from the point printing finished until the paper moves to the tear off
position for continuous printing. This setting is available when the auto tear off function is set to
on.
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 auto print direction (Auto), 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.
When print direction is set to Auto, the printer analyzes the data, and then switches automatically
whether to use bidirectional printing or unidirectional printing.
Note:
Set to Bi-D when printing from Windows to enable the printer driver's print direction setting. When
Uni-D or Auto is selected, the printer ignores the command from the Windows driver.
