Explanations of Menu Items

These explanations are in alphabetical sequence to make it easier to look them up. Some items only appear when optional accessories are installed; others appear in several groups in the menu.

Auto CR, Default =No

IBM Only. If you want the printer to automatically add a carriage return when a Line Feed is received at the end of a line, change the setting to Yes.

Auto LF, Default = No

If your printout is consistently double spaced, select No; if it overprints, select Yes.

Auto Feed XT, Default = Invalid

Epson Only. In the Epson emulation, the XT signal on pin 14 of the parallel interface can control automatic line feed. Some interface cables are wired in such a way that automatic line feed is always in effect: this item eliminates this potential problem. If your system uses pin 14 of the parallel interface to control automatic line feed, change the setting to Valid.

Auto Select, Default = No

Determines whether or not your printer will automatically be selected after you load in paper. With the factory default engaged, the printer will be deselected so that you can set the Top of Form. If you always use the same Top of Form position, change the setting to Yes.

Bi-direction, Default = Enable

Change this setting if you wish to disable bidirectional transmission (PnP) in Nibble mode.

Bottom Margin, Default = Valid

Change to Invalid if you want the printer to ignore the bottom margin setting.

CAUTION!!

Setting the Bottom Margin to Invalid can cause loss of data and damage the printhead by allowing printing without paper.
