Cut sheet feeder mode
When DIP switch 2-2 is on, you can use your printer’s optional cut sheet
feeder. See Chapter 7 for more information on using a cut sheet feeder
with your printer.
Skip over perforation
When DIP switch
2-3
is on, a one-inch margin is provided between the
last line printed on one page and the first line printed on the next page.
When using continuous paper, this feature causes
the
printer to stop
printing, skip over the perforation, and then resume printing. If you
adjust your loading position correctly, you can get half of the margin at
the bottom of one page and half at the top of the next page. See the
section on adjusting the loading position later in this chapter.
Note: Most application programs take care of the top and bottom
margins. Only use skip over perforation if your program does
not
provide these margins.
Automatic line feed
When DIP switch
2-4
is on, a carriage return code (CR) causes an
automatic line feed. When it is off, line feeds occur only when the printer
receives line feed codes (LF). Since some computers and application
programs automatically add line feeds to carriage returns, the setting you
use depends on your computer and application program.
Selecting Typestyles
Your printer can produce a wide range of typestyles by combining
different character fonts, pitches, widths, and other enhancements. These
features can be selected by using the SelecType feature on your control
panel or by using software commands. This section describes only the
features controlled by SelecType. To use software commands, see the
section on computer-printer communication in Chapter 4 and the
Command Summary in Chapter
8.
