EDS-1 Settings
23
Switch 6: Multi-Part Mode
Specifies whether the Multi-Part Mode is enabled (OFF) or disabled (ON).
When the printer is in the Multi-part Mode, the print head prints with greater
impact. It should be noted, however, that printing the in the Multi-part Mode
also reduces the life of the print head.
BANK B
Switch 1: Graphics Direction
Selects unidirectional (OFF) or bidirectional (ON) printing for graphics.
Bidirectional printing (ON) is faster, while unidirectional (OFF) printing
generally provides better print quality in the graphics mode.
Switch 2: Not used
Switch 3: Line Spacing
Selects 1/6-inch (ON) or 1/8-inch (OFF) spacing between lines.
Switch 4: Auto LF with CR
Specifies whether auto LF with CR is enabled (OFF) or disabled (ON). When
auto LF with CR is enabled (OFF), the printer automatically performs a line
feed whenever it receives a carriage return from the computer. When it is
disabled (ON), the computer must send both a line feed code and a carriage
return code at the end of each line. 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, turn
this switch ON (Disabled).
If you find that lines are printing over each other, turn this switch OFF
(Enabled).
Switch 5: Zero Style
Specifies whether a normal zero (ON) or a slashed zero (OFF) will be used.
Selecting Normal (ON) prints zeros without lines running through them, while
Slashed (OFF) prints zeros with a diagonal slash running through them.
Switch 6: Not used
