Printer Control Strap GenPrtOpts/Group 2/Strap 13
This printer control strap is used for positioning the paper after
printing oversize characters. When this strap is set to IN, the paper is
positioned at the top of the oversize character after printing; when set
to OUT, the paper position remains as is after printing oversize.
The state of the printer strap can be checked and changed using the
configuration menu.
In the following examples:
Lines 10-30 print oversize characters at X3.
Line 50 changes the oversize to X4 V by X6 H.
Lines 70-80 print oversize and exits.
Line 90 returns the parameters to X1 to prevent expanded
printing.
Lines 100-110 print normal text to show the effect that strap 13
has on positioning.
IMPORTANT
Line spacing was set back to normal (6 lpi) when normal text
was selected in line 90. When strap 13 is IN and the paper
position returns to the top of oversize, vertical moves (CR, LF,
VPA, VPR) must be used to move the paper to prevent
overprinting on the oversize characters.
