Override Host
OVERRIDE HOST determines whether the printer executes certain
commands sent by the host, or continues to use the current printer settings.
The following host commands are ignored when OVERRIDE HOST is
enabled: line length, forms length, lines per inch (LPI), characters per inch
(CPI), print quality, and text orientation (i.e. left to right). When OVERRIDE
HOST is enabled, these settings retain their operator panel settings.
NOTE: Host margin and tab settings will be used whether or not OVERRIDE
HOST is enabled.
•
DISABLE (the default) allows certain host commands (line length, forms
length, LPI, CPI, print quality, and text orientation) to override operator
panel settings. Note that the information appearing on the message
display may not match the data stream setting. No values will change
upon initial selection of the disable option.
•
ENABLE permits operator panel settings to override host data stream
commands.
Format Control
FORMAT CONTROL enables the printer to reflect the same spacing as 6408/
6412 Model CT0 printers after absolute and relative move commands are
executed. The following options are available:
•
ENABLE reflects 6408/6412 Model CT0 distance, generated by the Code
V feature, IGP feature, and Hex Transparent control code sequence, in
the new position (after absolute and relative move commands are
executed).
•
DISABLE (the default) does not reflect distance, generated by the Code V
feature, IGP feature, and Hex Transparent control code sequence, in the
new position (after absolute and relative move commands are executed).
Maximum Printable Width
MAXIMUM PRINTABLE WIDTH sets the maximum width of the printer when
using a CT host interface.
•
13.2 INCHES (the default)
•
13.6 INCHES
NOTE: The twinax interface menu and coax interface menu option for
maximum printable width use the same internal variable. Setting this
option in either menu will make it the current setting for the printer,
independent of the interface used.
Although the LP+ emulation maintains width in characters, the
maximum printable width in characters is controlled by the same
internal variable that is set by the twinax interface menu and coax
interface menu option for maximum printable width option.
