Oki 490 manual Selects the printer command set emulation you want to engage

Page 37

DTR Signal, Default = Ready on Power Up

Appears only when the optional Serial Interface is installed. Change to Ready on Select if the DTR signal is required when the printer is selected (leave as Ready on Power Up if the DTR signal is required when the printer is turned on).

Emulation Mode, Default = Epson LQ

Selects the printer command set (emulation) you want to engage.

Form Tear-Off, Default = Off

Choose 500 ms, 1 sec, or 2 sec to turn the Form Tear-Off feature on and to set the time interval for the printer to wait before advancing the paper.

Graphics, Default = Bi-directional

Change to uni-directional graphics for better registration, but slower printing. With this set for bi-directional, you can optimize the registration using the Print Registration setting in the Menu.

Graphics Speed, Default = Low

Change to High for faster printing when optimum print quality is not an issue.

I-Prime, Default = Buffer Print

Determines what the printer will do when it receives the I-Prime signal from the software.

Buffer Print: prints out the buffer contents before resetting.

Buffer Clear: dumps the buffer contents immediately.

Invalid: causes the printer to ignore the I-Prime command. Select this setting if you wish to enter settings through the printer’s control panel which will not be automatically overridden by the software’s settings when the I-Prime signal is sent.

Language Set, Default = American

Replaces certain standard symbols with special characters used in foreign languages.

Line Spacing, Default = 6 lpi

Change to 8 lines per inch (lpi) to get more lines on a page.
