CONFIGURATION OPTIONS | Page |
48 — Continuous Bell Ringing
For printers capable of sounding an alarm, this option can alert the printer attendant of important printed information. This option provides four choices: (A) Disabled, (B) Both ULTRA and printer bells will ring,
(C)Only the printer bell will ring, and (D) Only the ULTRA bell will ring. In order to maintain compatibility with older ULTRA firmware, the ULTRA will also accept values of “Y” and “N.”
If this option is set to “B,” “C” or “Y,” when the coax host sends an SCS 2Fh character, the ULTRA will start to send BELL characters (07h ASCII or 2Fh EBCDIC) to the printer once per second. To turn off bell ringing, press the HOLD PRINT button on the ULTRA front panel. The default value is “A” (No).
49 — Eliminate DSC C0 05 Header
Some applications send these two DSC characters to the printer, but they have no significance. When this option is set to “Yes,” C0 05 sequences are ignored. The default value is “No.”
50 — Alternate Host Enable/Disable
Determines which, if any, of the alternate host ports is enabled: (A) OFF,
(B)Both parallel and serial, (C) Serial only and (D) Parallel only. The default value is (A), and this selection ensures that no data or noise will be read from the alternate host ports.
51 — DSC EM Generates CR/LF in Infinite Line Length
IBM specifies that the EM (End of Message) character will have the effect of sending a CR/LF to the printer when the printhead is in any column other than column one. Setting this option to “No” causes the ULTRA to conform to this IBM specification, while setting it to “Yes” causes a CR/LF to be sent to the printer whenever an EM is received, regardless of the printhead position. The default value is “No.” This option has no effect unless Option #1 (Column Width) has been set to 0, implying an infinite line length. Refer to Section 15 — DSC Data Streams for more information.
