32Using the EDS Mode

Switch 6: Multi-Part Mode

Specifies whether the printer’s Multi-Part Mode is enabled (OFF) or disabled (ON). When the Multi-Part Mode is enabled (OFF), the impact of the print head is increased, but head life is decreased. Enable the Multi-Part Mode when printing on 4 to 5-ply paper. Disable the Multi-Part Mode when printing on 1 to 3-ply paper.

BANK B

Switch 1: Graphics Direction

Selects uni-directional (OFF) or bi-directional (ON) printing for graphics. Bi- directional printing (ON) is faster, while uni-directional (OFF) printing generally provides better print quality in the graphics mode.

Switch 2: Auto Tear-off (Long)

Specifies whether the printer’s auto tear-off (long) feature (page 24) 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 18. The manual tear-off function is always enabled.

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. Most applications do this automatically. 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.
