Using the Printer 19
Auto tear off
When auto tear off is on and you are using continuous paper with
the push tractor, the printer automatically advances the paper
perforation to the tear-off position, where you can easily tear off
the printed pages. When the printer receives the next print job, it
automatically moves the unused 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, you need to move the perforation to the
tear-off position by pressing the control panel button. See “Using
the Tear Off button” on page 39 for more information.
Auto line feed
When auto line feed is on, the printer accompanies each carriage
return (CR) code received with a line feed code, and the print
position moves to the next line. If the printer adds an extra line
after every carriage return, select Off.
Print direction
You can select auto print direction (Auto) bidirectional printing
(Bi-D) or unidirectional printing (Uni-D). Printing is normally
bidirectional for faster printing; however, unidirectional printing
allows for precise vertical printing alignment, which is useful for
printing graphics.
When set to Auto, the printer analyzes the data and uses
unidirectional printing only for lines which require vertical
printing alignment.
Software
When you select ESC/P2, the printer operates in the EPSON
ESC/P mode. When you select IBM 2390 Plus, the printer
emulates an IBM printer.
