Autowrap
This option defines the printer action when print data is received past the
forms width setting.
•
With LF+CR (factory default). Performs an automatic carriage return and
line feed when data is received past the forms width, causing the excess
text to print on the next line.
•
With CR. Performs an automatic carriage return (without line feed) when
data is received past the forms width.
•
Disable. Discards any data past the forms width.
Overstrike
This option enables you to print bold characters.
•
Enable (factory default). Turns on bold print. When enabled, overstrike
printing slows down the printer.
•
Disable. Turns off bold print.
Define LF Code
•
LF = CR + LF (factory default). Forces an automatic carriage return with
each line feed command. The next print position is print position 1 of the
next line.
•
LF = LF. Does not perform an automatic carriage return. The next print
position will be the current print position of the next line.
P-Series SFCC
This parameter allows you to select which ASCII codes will function as the
Special Function Control Code (SFCC) command delimiter.
P-Series codes can use hex 00 through hex 7F. Options include the following:
•
ESC (hex 1B)
•
SOH (hex 01)
•
ETX (hex 03)
•
CIRCUMFLEX (hex 5E)—also called caret (^)
•
TILDE (hex 7E)—(~)
NOTE: SOH, ETX, and ESC are non-printables. The characters (^) and (~)
148
are printable; however, do not use them as printables in the host data
stream if either is chosen as a delimiter because print errors will
occur.
