.-
in different languages. Your printer includes a wide
,*
.
variety of character tables.
Page length
This option is available only when you use continuous
paper with the tractor. You can set the page length to 8.5,
11,12,
or
70/6(the
length of A4 paper) inches.
Skip-over-perforation
When you turn on this feature, the printer skips over the
perforations of continuous paper, providing a l-inch
marginbehyeenthelastiineprintedono~pageandthe
first line printed on the next. Because most software
programs set their own top and bottom margins, you
should use this feature only if your program does not
provide them. This feature does not affect single-sheet
paper*
Auto tear off
When you use continuous paper with the push tractor,
this feature advances the paper perforation to the tear-off
position where you can easily tear off the printed pages.
When the printer receives data, it automatically reverses
the paper to the top-of-form position and starts

Graphic print direction
You can choose unidirectional or bidirectional as the print
direction for graphics. The printer usually prints text and
graphics bidirectionally for fast printing. To print graphics
unidirectionally for precise vertical alignment of print
dots select unidirectional printing.
software
You can select the kind of printer commands used by your
printer. When you select ESC/P 2,” the printer emulates
an EPSON ESC/P 2 printer. When you select
IBM@
X24E,
the printer operates as an IBM Proprinter” X24E. If
possible, choose an EFSON ESC/P 2 printer in your
software programs. This will allow you to use the most
advanced font and graphics handling available.
(Emulation means that the printer can understand and
respond to commands as if it were an X24E.)
AGM
(Alternate Graphics Mode)
When AGM is set to On, the printer can use
high-resolution 24pi.n graphics commands. The default
setting is off. When you select IBM X24E, this setting is
available.
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
feature to Off. If text lines print on top of each other, set it
toon.
Interface
When this feature is set to Auto, the printer determines
which interface is receiving data and switches to that
interface until the end of the print job (when no data is
received from the selected interface for the amount of time
specified), You can specify either 10 seconds or 30 seconds.
Set this option to Parallel only if you want the printer to
ignore data from the serial interface or to Serial only if
you want the printer to ignore data from the parallel
interface.
Bit rate, parity bit, data length, and
ETX/ACK
These options are available only when the interface is set
to Serial. See your computer manual for the appropriate
settings.
State reply
For normal operation leave this option set to Off (default).
