Data Bit 8
Enable: Allows access to the extended ASCII character set.
Disable: The printer interprets bit 8 of each incoming data character as a zero,
regardless of its actual setting.
PI Ignored
The PI (Paper Instruction) signal controls vertical paper motion. It is dependent
on your host computer.
Enable: Ignores the PI signal and treats the data as characters or control codes.
Disable: Causes the printer to interpret the eight data lines as VFU commands
when the PI signal is true.
