Oki 490 manual Choose the quality and typeface of printing

Page 39

Power Save Time, Default = 5 min

Sets the interval the printer waits for more data before it goes into the power save mode. Power Saving must be set to enable (the factory default) for this to be effective.

Power Saving, Default = Enable

Change to Disable if you wish to prevent the printer from entering the Power Save mode after the selected interval.

Print Mode, Default = LQ Courier

Choose the quality and typeface of printing.

Print Registration, Default = 0

Change the setting as required to obtain the best registration for bi-directional printing.

Print Suppress Effective, Default = Yes

If your system uses the DC1 and DC3 codes for something other than the print suppress mode, change the setting to No.

Proportional Spacing, Default = No

Change the setting to Yes to engage proportional spacing of characters.

Protocol, Default = Ready/Busy

Appears only if the optional Serial Interface is installed. Change to X-ON / X-Off if that is the type of protocol your system uses.

Receive Buffer Size, Default = 64K

Selects the amount of memory devoted to holding received data. Choosing 1 Line will tie up your computer while printing, but if you abort the print job, the printer will stop much sooner.

Reset Inhibit, Default = No

Select Yes if you wish the printer to ignore the reset command sent by software. This prevents your software from changing the settings you make through the front panel controls or through printer commands.

Note: This will also prevent your software from clearing out existing settings when you finish printing one document and switch to another.
