ML720/721 Printer Handbook 77
Line Spacing. 6 lpi (factory default) or 8 lpi. Choose 8 lines per inch for tighter line
spacing, to get more lines per page.
Operator Panel Function. Full Operation (factory default) or Limited Operation.
Change to Limited Operation to deactivate the PRINT QUARITY and CHARACTER
PITCH buttons on the control panel. Then you can control these features only through
your software. This can be useful when several people are using the printer and you
don’t want its settings changed.
Important!
This feature also prevents access to the Menu. To access the Menu, turn
the printer off, then hold down the SEL key while turning on the printer.

”, 12”, 14”, 17”, 5”, 3”, 3.5”, 4”, 5.5”, 6”, 7”, 8”, 8.5”. Selects the
length of the paper you’ll be using in your printer. This enables the printer to keep
track of the initial printing position on each page (Top of Form).
Page Length Control. Choose page length control system for SASF mode.
by Actual Page Length .....Control page length by actual physical page length.
by Menu Setting ................Control page length by logical page length.
Page Width. Appears in Menu for wide-carriage model only. Choose a page width of
13.6” or 8”.
Paper out Override. No (factory default) or Yes. The paper out detector senses when
less than an inch of paper remains in the printer and stops printing at that point.
Changing this setting to Yes overrides the detector so you can print closer to the bot-
tom of the page if you’re using single sheets. Be careful if you use this feature: it lets
the printer continue printing when there’s no more paper, which can cause loss of
data and may damage the printhead.
Parity. Appears only if optional Serial Interface is installed. None (factory default),
Odd, or Even. Selects the type of parity your system uses.
Pin 18. +5V (factory default) or Open. Sets the signal on pin 18.
Pitch. 10 cpi (factory default), 12 cpi, 15 cpi, 17.1 cpi, or 20 cpi. Selects the character
width measured in characters per inch (cpi).
Power Save Time. 5min (factory default), 10min, 15min, 30min, 60min. Sets the time
until the printer enters the power save mode. This setting is effective when the power
saving option is enabled.
