Print on CR

This parameter is intended for use by customers whose applications embolden characters by using a CR-only method to selectively reprint all or parts of a line.

Off:

Ignore bolding, print as regular text (Default setting)

Double Strike: Print line, then backup to reprint (bold by overstriking)

Bold:

Print line once, bold portions printed with enhanced "bold"

 

style

For example, the application may embolden the word "bold" in a sentence by sending (^ marks a space) the following:

This is bold<CR>^^^^^^^^bold<CR><LF>

With "Double Strike" selected, bolding is accomplished by re-striking the characters at the same dot positions. This requires a 1-line backup after printing each <CR> pass; some applications use many passes to print a single bolded line, so printing throughput may be reduced accordingly.

With "Bold" selected, bolding is accomplished by rendering the bolded charac- ters twice, one with a small offset to create a "shadow" effect. The resulting print is thicker and thus appears darker. This is the same technique used with the "bold" character attribute selected via emulation escape sequences.

Form Feed at TOF

This dictates how the printer will respond to a Form Feed Control Code re- ceived from the host computer when it is already at a top-of-form location. If set to Disabled, the printer ignores the Form Feed Control Code sent from the host. If set to Enabled (default selection) the printer performs the requested form feed and advances to the next top-of-form.

ESC

This parameter is valid only in the Tally ANSI and LG emulations. When set to Disabled, the ESC control character is ignored. The default is Enabled.

Alt ESC (Alternate Escape)

This parameter is only valid in the Tally ANSI and LG emulations. When set to Enabled, a "^" (carat) character in column 1 (left margin) followed by a CR or a CR LF can be used in place of the ESC control code. The default is Disabled. ESC (see above) must also be Enabled for this to work.

Upper Only

This parameter allows you to set up your printer to print in uppercase charac- ters only from the active Character Set. When this parameter is enabled, the lowercase characters in Hex positions 61 through 7A are overwritten by the uppercase characters in positions 41 through 5A. The default selection is Disabled.
