EDS Mode Settings 23

Paper Out

Enable or disable the paper out detect function.

When paper out detection is set to Enabled, the printer automatically stops printing whenever it senses there is no more paper. When set to Disabled, the printer continues printing as long as there is data. Selecting Disabled makes it possible to print right up to the bottom of a page, but it also creates the danger of printing when there is no paper loaded in the printer, which can damage the print head and platen.

Line Spacing

Select the line spacing you want to use.

Strobe Timing

Select the timing you want to use for receipt of data by the printer.

Selecting Normal allows the printer to receive data from the computer when the parallel interface’s strobe signal falls. Selecting Reverse allows data receipt when the strobe signal rises.

Print Mode

Select the print mode you want to use.

Selecting NLQ provides near letter quality output, while selecting Draft provides draft quality. Draft quality printing may be less attractive than near letter quality, but the printing operation is faster.
