PcOS Series 90PLUS
The Series 90PLUS Printer supports two basic printer
emulation modes. These are normal (IBM-like) or EPOS
(Epson-like).

The default print mode for graphics can be set to
bidirectional for the fastest print or unidirectional for the best
print quality.

The input receive buffer can be configured to various sizes.
The optimal size is dependent on the application. The
options are from 256 to 6144 bytes. To provide very tight
control of the printer, a one-line mode is also provided
where the printer goes busy after each [CR] and stays busy
until the buffer is empty.

The line to line print registration of the printer is adjustable.
This registration is important in graphic and rotated print
and is set at the factory. However, if the printer has been
serviced this value may need to be adjusted. The
adjustment can be from -5 to +5. To aid in setting this
adjustment, the printer will print an alignment chart along
with the adjustment.
Adjust from 0 to 9
To allow the printer to print better on multipart forms, the
impact energy supplied to the print head can be increased.
In high impact mode, the print speed is decreased by about
15 percent. High impact is only effective in slip and/or
validation modes.
