CONFIGURATION OPTIONS Page 5-13

55 — MD-Laser Support

Determines whether or not the ULTRA will provide Maersk Data Products continuous escape support. Select “Yes” if using Maersk Data software. If this option is set to “Yes,” when the three-character sequence “Esc C 2” is detected in the data stream, the hexadecimal value of the character pairs following the sequence will be sent to the printer until a terminator (Esc) is detected. The default value is “No.” Refer to Section 11 — Transparency Modes for more information.

Note: If this option is set to “Yes,” Option #1 — Column width should be set to 0 (infinite line length), Option #2 — Lines Per Page should be set to 0 (infinite page length), and Option #15 — Bold Print Emulation should be set to C (none). Otherwise, unpredictable formatting errors could occur. Refer to Section 12 — DisplayWrite 370 Support for more information.

56 — Reserved

This option is reserved.

57 — DSC NL at EM Even If in Column 1

IBM specifications state 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.” Refer to Section 15 — DSC Data Streams for more information.

58 — Metacode Support

Metacode is a variation of 35 Hex transparency. If this option is set to “Yes,” Metacode support is enabled. If set to “No,” 35h will be ignored. The default value is “No.” Refer to Section 11 — Transparency Modes and Section 16 — Xerox Applications for more information.

Note: If this option is set to “Yes,” Option #1 — Column width should be set to 0 (infinite line length), Option #2 — Lines Per Page should be set to 0 (infinite page length), and Option #15 — Bold Print Emulation should be set to C (none). Otherwise, unpredictable formatting errors could occur. Refer to Section 12 — DisplayWrite 370 Support for more information.
