Star Micronics XR-1500 Printer User Manual


 
MENU OPTIONS
The following is a list of the options within the menus, and their meanings,
together with the prompts printed in Memory Switch mode. The prompts are
given in capital letters in square brackets, thus: [OFF]. Factory settings are
marked here with an asterisk (for example, [ON*]). A summary of factory
settings is also provided following this section.
Command Menu
This menu allows you to set up various parameters controlling the overall
setup of the printer:
RAM USAGE
QUIET MODE
GRAPHICS
DIRECTION
AUTO ON-LINE
The printer RAM may be used as a print buffer
[BUFFER*], for downloading fonts [DOWNLOAD], or
as a single-line buffer [lLINE.BUFFER].
The printer may either print slower and quieter [ON], or
faster, making slightly more noise [OF].
When printing in graphics mode, the printer may either
print biditeetionally (in alternate directions) for speed
[BI*] or in one direction only (unidirectional for in-
creased accuracy KINI]. For practically all purposes,
however, biclireetional printing is sufficiently accurate.
If this is set [ON*], then when paper is inserted, the
printer will automatically come on-line. If set [OFFJ, then
you will have to press the button to bring the printer on-
line.
Font Menu
This menu allows you to set two parameters concerning fonts which will be
automatically selected whenever you turn on the printer:
ZERO STYLE In computer usage, a zero is often written with a slash
through it, as follows: @“. This style is called
[SLASHED]. If a zero is written as a slightly thinner
capital%“, without the slash (“O”), this is may be chosen
by selecting PIORMAL*].
NLQ FONT STYLE
This option allows you to choose the default font selected
when NLQ mode is selected. All available fonts are given
as options. The default is [COURIER*].
