Page 39

Language Set, Default = ASCII

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.

Operator Panel Function, Default = Full Operation

Change to Limited Operation to deactivate the PRINT QUALITY and CHARACTER PITCH buttons, so that these features can only be controlled through your software. This prevents these from being changed from the control panel when several people are using the printer.

NOTE

This feature also prevents access to the Menu. To access the Menu in these circumstances, turn the printer OFF, then hold down the SEL key while turning ON the printer.

Page Length, Default = 12"

Selects the length of the paper you are using. This enables the printer to keep track of the initial printing position (TOF) on each page.

Page Length Control, Default = by Menu Setting

If you wish to use the Paper End sensor to detect the actual paper end, use Actual Page Length setting. If you use “by Menu Setting”, the printer will disregard the Paper End (PE) and use the page length as set by the menu.

Page Width, Default = 13.6"

Wide carriage model only. Change to 8" to print on narrow paper.

MENU MODE > 39
