Auto tear-off
When auto tear-off is on and you are using continuous paper
with the front or rear push tractor, the printer advances the
paper perforation to the tear-off position. When the printer
receives data again, it moves the paper back to the top-of-form
position and starts printing, so you can use all of the next page.
When auto tear-off is off and you are using continuous paper
with the front or rear push tractor, you need to move the
perforation to the tear-off position manually by pressing the
Tear Off/Bin button. See Adjusting the tear-off position on
page 2-27 for more information.
Auto tear-off wait time
When the printer is in Okidata mode, this option lets you specify
how long to wait before the printer advances the paper
perforation to the tear-off position.
Auto line feed
When auto line feed is on, the printer accompanies each carriage
return (CR) code received with a line feed (LF) code.
Print direction
You can select auto print direction, bidirectional printing (Bi-D),
or unidirectional printing (Uni-D). Printing is normally
bidirectional; however, unidirectional printing allows for
precise vertical printing alignment.
Software
Select ESC/P to operate the printer in EPSON ESC/P mode.
Select IBM PPDS to make the printer emulate an IBM printer.
0 slash
The zero character has a slash (
0/
) when this feature is on; it has
no slash (0) when this feature is off. The slash allows you to
easily distinguish between the uppercase letter O and a zero.
