Undefined Char Substitution; Print Text Direction; Intervention Required - IBM 6500 User Manual

Undefined Char Substitution

UNDEFINED CHARACTER SUBSTITUTION specifies the replacement character to
print in place of any unprintable character that is received from the host. The
character becomes the printer default when:
v The printer is powered off and then powered on.
v An SGEA command specifies to use the operator panel default.
v The "UNDEFINED CHARACTER REPORTING" option is disabled.
The character code point can be set to the following values:
– X'60' (the default)
– X'40' – X'FE' (HEX)

Print Text Direction

Specifies the direction in which characters are printed on the page. This allows the
printer to print languages which are printed right to left instead of left to right.
v Left to Right (the default).
v Right to Left. When a right to left language is selected, the host will be notified
of print direction changes when the printer is put online.

Intervention Required

Select from the following:
v Not Send To Host (the default)
v Send To Host. The printer sends a signal to the host computer when any of the
following occur:
– Printer faults occur.
– Hold mode timeout occurs.
If not selected, the printer will only send the signal on printer faults that cause
data loss (paper jam, ribbon stall, online platen open, and so forth).
