UTF-8 is a popular encoding of Unicode in which the first 128 characters are still occupied by t
ASCII set. This makes it backwards compatible with older applications which use only ASCII
data. It also allows the printing of all Unicode characters.
UTF -8 encoded Unicode can be enabled on the printer fr
com mand in the PGL emulation.
CR Edit
This parameter determines if a carriage return will be followed by a line feed.
Disable. The printer ignores all carriage returns that are not followed by line feeds.
Enable. The printer processes all carriage returns, even for those that are not
feeds.
The factory default is Disable.
Def ine CR code
Thi s option controls the action of the printer when it receives a Carriage Return code (0D
from the host computer. If this feature is enabled, each time the printer receives a
retu rn, it inserts an additional Line Feed code (0A hex) into the d
feat ure if the host computer sends line feeds to the printer.
CR = CR. Does not insert an extra line feed after each carriage return.
CR = CR + LF. Inserts an extra line feed after each carriage return. The next print position
will be print position 1 of the next line.
The factory default is CR = CR.

LF = LF. Does not perform an automatic carriage return. The next print position will be at the
current print character position on the next line.
LF = CR + LF. Performs an automatic carriage return. The next p
position 1 of the next line.
T he factory default is LF = LF.

Enable. The printer will advance media from the present TOF position to the
position upon receipt of an FF command, causing a blank form.
