❑
Print direction
. Specifies how the print head moves across
the page. The options are Uni-D, Bi-D, and Auto (default).
When Uni-D is on, the print head prints in only one
direction to provide the most precise alignment for
graphics and text. In Bi-D printing, the print head prints in
both directions. Bi-D is faster but the vertical alignment
may not be as precise as Uni-D. When Auto is selected, the
printer switches automatically between bidirectional (for
text data) and unidirectional (for graphics data).
❑
Font and Pitch
. Select the built-in printer font and
character pitch used as the default. Normally you use your
software to select the font and pitch. The default Font and
Pitch is Courier 10 cpi (characters per inch).
❑
Interface mode
. Selects the active interface. The default
setting, Auto, allows the printer to automatically switch as
needed between the parallel and serial interfaces.
However, if you experience communication problems, you
might want to set the interface mode to either Parallel or
Serial.
❑
Auto interface wait time
. Sets the time period for the
printer to wait for data from the current interface (and
accept no data from the other interface) when you’re using
the Auto interface mode. You can select a 10-second
(default) or 30-second wait time.
❑
Software
. Specifies the printer control language to use:
EPSON ESC/P 2 (default) or IBM X24E. If your software
allows you to select EPSON ESC/P 2, choose it for the most
advanced fonts and graphics.
❑
Auto CR
. Specifies that the printer perform a carriage
return and line feed operation if the print positions exceed
the right margin of the paper. (Used in IBM X24E mode
only.)
