Operator Panel Function, Default = Full Operation
Change to Limited Operation to deactivate the PRINT QUALITY
and CHARACTER PITCH buttons, so that these features can
only be controlled through your software. This prevents these
from being changed from the control panel when several
people are using the printer.
Important!
This feature also prevents access to the Menu. To access the
Menu in these circumstances, turn the printer off, then hold
down the
SEL
key while turning on the printer.
Page Length, Default = 11"
Selects the length of the paper you are using. This enables the
printer to keep track of the initial printing position (TOF) on
each page.
Page Length Control, Default = by Menu Setting
Change the setting to “by Actual Page Length” if you wish to
print on single-sheets longer than 17 inches. When “by Actual
Page Length” is selected, the menu setting for Top Feed Page
Length is ignored.
Page Width, Default = 8"
Wide carriage model only. Change to 13.6" to print on wide
paper.
Paper Out Override, Default = No
Senses when less than 1" (25 mm) of paper remains and stops
printing. Change to Yes to override the sensor and print closer
to the bottom of the page.
Caution!!
Engaging Paper Out Override can cause loss of data and
damage the printhead by allowing printing without paper.
Parity, Default = None
Appears only when the optional Serial Interface is installed.
Selects the type of parity your system uses: None, Odd or
Even.
Pin 18, Default = +5V
Sets the signal on pin 18 to +5 volts or open.
Pitch, Default = 10 cpi
Choose the character width, in characters per inch (cpi).
