Epson 4100 Printer User Manual


 
88 Configuration
character set settings and options are printed out when you select "Status
Print?" (Page 56) or "Print All Options?" (Page 58).
Initialize Sensitivity
Pressing
YES
prints out the active setting:
Low (factory default)
High
The initialize sensitivity setting applies only to the INIT* signal (Pin 31) on
the parallel interface.
Low: Low sensitivity means that the printer requires an active-low INIT*
pulse of at least 100 ms in order to reset the printer to its power-up default
settings.
In most situations, prefer low sensitivity, especially when using overly long
parallel interface cables (over 10 ft) or when dealing with an electronically
noisy computer-printer connection.
High: High sensitivity means that the printer requires an active-low INIT*
pulse of at least 1.66 µs in order to reset the printer to its power-up default
settings.
Use high sensitivity when the INIT* pulse is short, such as with an IBM
3197 terminal.
Vertical Alignment
Pressing
YES
allows you to adjust the printer's right-versus-left-pass
timing for firing printhead pins. See "Vertical Image Alignment" (Page
110) for the procedure.
