Star Micronics NX-2415II Printer User Manual


 
Switches A-1: Emulation
Select the mode compatible with your computer and software. In
standard mode the printer operates like the Epson LQ-106O.In IBM
mode it operates like the IBM Proprinter XL24E. The ON position
selects standard mode. The OFF position selects IBM mode.
Switch A-2: Auto Emulation Change (AEC) Mode
. This switch selects the Auto Emulation Change (AEC) mode.
When the AEC mode is enabled, the printer automatically judges the
Emulation which your application program uses.
Switch A-3: RAM usage
In order todownload characters this switch mustbein theOFFposition.
The printer then uses its RAM memory for storing character patterns
and provides only a one-line print buffer. If you leave this switch ON,
the printer uses its RAM memory as an input buffer, allowing the
computer to send faster than the printer prints.
Switch A-4: Automatic Sheet Feeder
When using the optional automatic sheet feeder (SF-15DJ),move this
switch to the OFF position.
Otherwise leave it ON.
Switch A-5: Auto LF with CR
If you leave this switch at the ON position, a separate line-feed code is
required from your computer to obtain a line feed.
If you move this switch to the OFF position, the printer performs both
a carriage return and line feed each time it receives a carriage-return
code.
Most computer systems send a line feed code, or both a carriage return
and line feed, at the end of each line, so this switch should be left ON.
If you get double line spacing when you expect single spacing, or if
lines overprint each other, try changing the setting of this switch.
Switch B-1: Graphics Direction
When printing in graphics mode, the printer may either print bi-
directionally (in alternate directions) for speed or in one direction only
(uni-directional) for increased accuracy. For practically all purposes,
however, bi-directional printing is sufficiently accurate.
