Network interface mode. If you're having trouble printing
when the printer is connected to multiple computers, turn on
network interface mode. By default, network interface mode
is off.
Auto line feed. Specifies that a carriage return character
encountered in the print file be accompanied by a line feed
command. By default, auto line feed is off. If text lines print
on top of one another, turn on auto line feed.
Loading position. Determines the top margin by defining
how close to the paper edge the first line can print. The
loading position can be 3 mm (default) or 8.5 mm. Normally
you should use your software to adjust your top margin.
Interface mode. Determines from which interface the printer
receives print data. By default, the printer automatically
switches as needed between the parallel, serial, and optional
interfaces. However, if you are experiencing communication
problems, you might want to set the interface mode to one of
the following: Parallel, Serial, or Optional.
Auto interface wait mode. Determines the interface timeout
period, either 10 or 30 seconds, when the Auto I/F mode is
selected for the Interface mode option. The printer does not
accept data from another interface for the period defined.
Character table. Selects the set of characters and symbols
that can be printed. The default is the U.S.A. character table.
If you commonly use a language containing accents,
symbols, or other characters not available in the U.S.A.
character table, change to a different character table.
To turn on Default setting mode and print instructions, turn
off the printer. Then hold down the Economy/Condensed
button while you turn the printer back on. Follow the
instructions that describe how to change the default settings
by pressing the buttons on the control panel. When you are
finished, press Pause and turn off the printer to exit the
Default setting mode.
