    Choosing a site for your printer is important because the environment affects your print quality. The best site for your printer is one that is protected from dirt and heavy dust, and has a moderate temperature and humidity range. In addition, the power source should be adequate for printer operation and protected from power surges.

  • Page 55: Ribnmon Thresh

    The options for this parameter are Enabled and Disabled (default). When the Perf Skip parameter is enabled, the printer throughput will be reduced due to the time required to automatically open and close the print gap.

Ser/Par Emulation This parameter allows you to define which set of printer control commands will be emulated for data received on the Serial and Parallel ports (except LAN- IPDS).

  • Page 60: Lan Emulation (Lan Interface Only)

    Dump Mode This parameter is used to troubleshoot problems that may arise when processing data. It places the printer into a Hex Dump Mode. You can select three styles of printouts for use as debugging tools. The selections are: OFF: Dump Mode is disabled.

    Configs 1-10: Produces a printed report of any of the saved printer configura- tions. The report contains a header which identifies the installed software and interface, any options that are installed, and statistics for time powered on, time printing, and total lines printed.

  • Page 62: Codes Category

    If Line Wrap is OFF the excess characters are lost. If Line Wrap is ON, printer response is determined by the Wrap Line Feed (see below). If Line Wrap is ON and Wrap LF is OFF, the printer performs a Carriage Return only and overprint- ing can result.

  • Page 63: Print On Cr

    Form Feed at TOF This dictates how the printer will respond to a Form Feed Control Code received from the host computer when it is already at a top-of-form location. If set to Disabled, the printer ignores the Form Feed Control Code sent from the host.

  • Page 64: Code 7F

    Config Menu ⇒ Codes Code 7F This parameter allows you to dictate how the printer will react when it receives a Hexadecimal code 7F. The default value depends on the emulation. (See the Emulation Parameter, presented earlier in this chapter.)

  • Page 65: Tof Control (Available When Genicom Ansi Emulation Is Selected)

    This parameter allows DC1 - DC3 operation. When Enabled (default), the printer can be selected and deselected using DC1 and DC3 control codes. The printer select/deselect operation is not in effect when Disabled. SISO OverszBar (Available when Genicom ANSI emulation is se- lected) This parameter allows SI-SO operation for bar codes and oversize characters.

  • Page 73: Serial I/O Category

    This parameter sets the number of serial stop bits. 1 is the default. Parity Parity is a method the printer uses to verify that each byte of data it receives is exactly what the host computer transmitted. When selected, it keeps track of the number of high bits in each byte (either odd or even).

  • Page 74: Status Enquiry

    The printer will then send back a 1 byte packet denot- ing the status of the printer. If this option is set to OFF (the default), no packet will be sent back. The Status Enquiry feature may be enabled in conjunction with any other protocol.

  • Page 75: Dtr Function Continued

    If your system is configured to use Xon/Xoff Protocol, using the Busy option above will cause interfer- ence with printer to host communication.

  • Page 77: Intellifilter Category

    IntelliFilter is a programmable feature, standard on TallyGenicom line printers. Without having to touch an otherwise well-working host system, IntelliFilter permits users to free their systems from hard coded dependence on a specific printer that is no longer maintainable, or able to meet the demands of the application.

  • Page 78: Twinax/Coax Category

    There are two options for this parameter, PA1 and PA2. These options only have meaning when the printer is in the SCS Mode. If they are selected while the printer is in non SCS Mode, the Invalid Key error message will display briefly.

  • Page 79: Host Font Style (Twinax Only)

    Comp Switch 4 determines printer response to an FF command located at the end of a buffer. If OFF, the printer performs an FF only. The new print location is the first print position on the next form. If ON, the printer performs an FF plus an NL.

  • Page 80: Ir Delay (Coax Only)

    OFF, and the Ignore bit in the PCIA is ON, the line is not printed and no NL function is performed. If ON, the printer prints a blank line in response to a line of unprintable characters and performs an NL function.

  • Page 81: Epc

    When this parameter is set to On, the printer notifies the host before it is finished processing the print buffer. This allows faster processing because the text buffer is sent by the host before the current buffer is fully processed and there is no delay between processing one buffer and the next buffer.

  • Page 82: Ipds Category (Ipds Only)

    Address (Twinax Only) This parameter sets the Twinax IPDS device address for the printer. This feature allows the IPDS emulation to reside at a different address than the standard Twinax SCS emulation, hence providing two virtual Twinax printers. The default is Undefined.

    When a paper motion fault is detected while printing is in progress, the paper is reversed approximately 3 inches, then moved forward again. If the paper motion fault persists, the printer is placed offline and the fault is reported.
