Epson 3260 Printer User Manual


 
Graphic print direction
You can choose unidirectional or bidirectional as the print
direction for graphics. The printer usually prints text
bidirectionally for fast printing and prints graphics
unidirectionally for precise vertical alignment of print dots. To
print graphics faster, select bidirectional printing. If you have
installed the motor unit included with the color upgrade kit,
make sure the printing direction is always unidirectional even
when you are using the black ribbon.
Download
You must turn on the download function before you download
fonts or other user-defined characters to the printer’s memory.
If you are not using user-defined characters, turn off download
to increase the printer’s memory capacity and the printing
speed.
Auto line feed
When the auto line feed feature is on, each carriage return (CR)
code is accompanied by a line feed (LF) code. If your printed
text is unexpectedly double spaced, set this option off. If text
lines print on top of each other, set it on.
Hex dump/Demonstration
The hex dump/demonstration feature lets you print a
hexadecimal dump or a demonstration page. If you choose hex
dump and then run an application program, the printer prints
the exact codes (in hexadecimal format) it receives from the
computer. You can analyze this information to isolate
communication problems If you select demonstration, the
printer prints a page of text and font selections available with
your printer.
