EDS Mode Settings
RAM Usage
❏ Specify whether RAM should be used as an input buffer or as a download
buffer.
Selecting Input Buffer tells the printer to use available RAM to store data it
receives from the computer. This speeds up the printing operation, but it also
means that RAM cannot be used to store character patterns used to define down
loaded characters. Selecting Download Buffer tells the printer to use available
RAM to store character patterns you define using the download character
control codes (page 48).
Graphics Direction
❏ Select either unidirectional (Uni-direction) or bidirectional (Bi-direction)
printing for graphics.
Bidirectional printing is faster, while unidirectional printing generally provides
better print quality.
Tear-off
❏ Enable or disable the tear-off function.
Selecting Enabled for this switch lets you use the tear-off function with fanfold
paper. Selecting Disabled causes this function to be switched off. Note that this
setting controls tear-off function control from application software only. It does
not affect the manual tear-off function using control panel buttons described on
page 13. The manual tear-off function is always enabled.
Auto LF with CR
❏ Enable or disable auto LF with CR.
When Disabled is selected for this switch, the computer must send both a line
feed code and a carriage return code at the end of each line. Most applications
do this automatically. When Enabled is selected, the printer automatically
performs a line feed whenever it receives a carriage return from the computer.
Note the following check points when trying to figure out which setting to use
here:
✓ If you find that your output is double-spaced when it should not be, change
this setting to Disabled.
✓ If you find that lines are printing over each other, change this setting to
Enabled.
