F1	START/STOP: Press [F1] to start or stop the printer.
F2	TRUNCATE/WRAP-AROUND: In truncate mode, narrow-
	carriage printers ignore data beyond 8” (80 columns). In
	wrap mode, the data prints on the next line.
F3	LINE FEED: Each time the [F3] key is pressed, the paper in
	the printer will advance one line.
F4	FORM FEED: The paper advances to the top of the next
	page and resets the line and column counts to one.

	System/3X host. This will not cancel data already in the
	printer buffer.

	LINE SPACING: Defines the pitch, printer quality and line
	spacing for the attached PC printer. Host commands which
	alter these values are ignored.

	LINE SPACING: With this enabled, host commands control
	pitch, print quality, and line spacing.
F8	RE-INITIALIZE PRINTER: Returns to the original printer
	configuration.
F9	BUFFER PRINT: Prints host commands for diagnostics. This
	is referred to as a “hex dump.”

	jobs when DOS is highlighted, only host jobs when Host is
	highlighted, or automatically selects from host or DOS
	when Auto is highlighted.

	emulations do not support this function). Only affects dot-
	matrix printers.
