Auto CR with LF

When auto CR (carriage return) with LF (line feed) is enabled, the printer automatically performs a carriage return whenever it receives a LF code from the computer. This moves the print position to the beginning of the next line. If the printer adds an extra line after every carriage return, select OFF.

Auto LF with CR

When auto LF with CR is enabled (OFF), the printer automatically performs a line feed whenever it receives a CR code from the computer. When disabled (ON), the computer must send both a line feed code and a carriage return code at the end of each line. Most computers and applications send both.

Note the following check points when determining which setting to use.

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).

Saving Control Panel Status

You can select either “Panel Macro” or “Auto Saving” to save the current control panel settings. See “Panel macro” on page 26.

Quiet mode

When the Quiet Mode is enabled (OFF), the printer prints with less noise than normal printing. Though the Quiet Mode prints more quietly, it also takes considerably longer than normal printing.

Auto Tear-off

Specifies whether the printer’s auto tear-off feature is enabled (OFF) or disabled (ON). Note that this setting controls the application software’s tear-off function only. It does not affect the manual tear-off function that is performed using the control panel buttons as described on page 25. The manual tear-off function is always enabled.
