Default settings descriptions
Character
fable
Character tables contain the characters and symbols used by
different languages. The printer prints text with the selected
character table. When you select this feature, the font light on
the control panel goes on or off to indicate the current
selection.
Auto print direction
The printer ordinarily prints text
bidirectionally
for speed and
prints graphics characters unidirectionally for precise vertical
alignment.
When auto print direction is set to on, the printer switches
between bidirectional (for text data) and unidirectional motion
(for graphics data). When this feature is set to off, the print
head motion is controlled by your software.
Continuous-paper page length
When you are printing on continuous paper, this feature lets
you select from the four page lengths described in the table on
page
3-15.
Skip-over-perforation
When this feature is on and you are using continuous paper,
the printer leaves a l-inch
(25.4-mm)
margin between the last
printable line on one page and the first printable line on the
next page. This causes the printer to skip over the perforation
between continuous sheets.
Most software takes care of the top and bottom margins. Do
not turn on skip-over-perforation unless your software does
not provide these margins.
