This menu is used to control the firing or the print wires in
relationship to the swing of the shuttle. Bi-directional mode allows
printing during both the left and right shuttle swing (normal
operation.)
Printing only in left or right swing of the shuttle is used for trouble-
shooting and alignment purposes. A slight increase in the quality of
printing may be realized using a single-swing option due to the
characteristics of the timing.

This menu is used to set the power-off delay for the shuttle motor.
This delay is the time between the moment when no print data is
detected and the moment when the shuttle motor is shut off. A short
delay time is preferred. If the host is sending data slower than the
printer can print, a longer delay may prevent the time lost when the
shuttle is turned off and back on again.
