Line Mode; Commands; Tear Off Mode; Pre-Separation - Epson MTX 1345 Operator's Manual

- Line Mode

If LF = LF + CR is selected, the printer performs a carriage return (CR) for
every line feed (LF) received by the interface.
If CR = LF + CR is selected, the printer performs a line feed (LF) for every
carriage return (CR) received by the interface.

- $$ Commands

This function causes $$ either to be printed as $$ or to activate ESC
commands within an application.
If this function is set to YES the characters are interpreted by the printer in
the following way:
- $$ like ESC [
- $$/ like ESC.
- Tear-off-mode (only for fanfold paper)
There are three possible settings within this mode:
- NO
- YES 10 SEC.
- YES 1 SEC.
- NO SPECIAL
The NO SPECIAL setting is to be used with critical forms which cannot
handle the return movement of the paper.
With the YES setting the printer waits for one or ten seconds and, unless
further data is received, moves the paper to the first perforation after the text.
Regardless of this setting, whenever changing from fanfold to another paper
source, the printer will request the fanfold paper to be torn off before the
paper is moved to the park position.
- Pre-separation (is used for the ASF cassettes only)
During normal printing, a sheet of paper is not inserted from an ASF cassette
before the preceding sheet has been ejected. By selecting
PRE-SEPARATION = YES the sheets follow each other more closely,
thereby increasing the printer's throughput.

Buffer size in Kbyte. The maximum size is 48 Kbyte.
Length of the data to be transferred; values are 7 or 8 bit.
the following types are available:
- Parallel
- Serial
- Shared
In case the SHARED interface type is selected the printer switches
automatically between the parallel and serial interfaces. The first data
received at the port determine which interface port becomes active.
The other interface port will be closed so that only one interface is
active at a time (for detailed information see Appendix A Interface
Description).
The factory setting for the interface type are: Shared, 8 Kbyte Buffer, 8 bit
word length even parity bit, 9600 baud rate, DTR protocol and AUTO
STATUS = NO.
Controls the speed of data transfer. The possible transfer rates are: 600,
1200, 2400, 4800, 9600 or 19200 bps.
The data transfer will be checked by an even or odd parity bit. The values
are: EVEN, ODD, NONE or IGNORE.
Selectable are: DTR, XON/XOFF or XON/XOFF+DTR.
