Star Micronics XB24-15 Printer User Manual


 
Forms Menu
This menu allows you to set various options associated with paper handling:
SHORT TEAR OFF When using fanfold (continuous) paper, this Short Tear
Off option allows you to tear off one sheet of paper
without having to eject the whole of the following sheet.
If this option is set [ON*], when the paper reaches the top
of the form, it will automatically be advanced a little,
allowing you to tear off the paper easily. Set this option
to [OFFI if you do not want to use it.
SKIP OVER
When using fanfold (continuous) paper, you may wish
PERFORATION
printing to stop a little before the bottom of each sheet,
and start printing a little after the beginning of the next (in
other words, skipping over the perforation). This is useful
if you want to produce program listings, etc. This can be
enabled by setting this option [ONI, or, if using software
which performs this function automatically, it can be set
10~1.
AUTO LF
If set [ON, this will expand all received carriage return
codes to a line feed and carriage return pair. However,
this may be set [OFF*] if your software demands it.
AUTO CR
If set [ON*], this function will expand all received line
feed codes to a carriage return and line-feed pair. How-
ever, this may be set [OFF] if you do not want to be
expanded.
LINES PER INCH
This sets the number of lines per vertical inch which will
be printed to [3 LPI], [4 LPI], [6 LPI*] or [8 LPI].
PAGE LENGTH
The page length may be set by means of the DIP switches
[DIP-SW*] (see Chapter 5 for details) or to any of the
following lengths (in inches): [33, [3.5], [4], [5.5], [6],
[7], [8], [8.5], [11.7] or [14]. A4 paper is equivalent tc
11.7 inches, while the DIP switch settings of 11 inches
and 12 inches will normally be used for fanfold paper.
