Form Feed Mode:

This setting affects what the printer will do in response to a Form Feed command from any source. Different modes are appropriate depending upon the type of paper being used.

‘Fixed Page’ mode is typically appropriate. It assumes a known page length (based upon the ‘Form Length’ and/or ‘Paper Size’ settings). It advances a new sheet to the printing position, and attempts to eject it at an appropriate distance based upon the length of the page.

‘End of Page’ mode makes no assumptions about page length, and will continue to feed the paper forward to a maximum page length of 14” or until the Paper Sensor detects that no paper remains in the input of the printer. Note that either the end of a cut sheet, or the black mark printed on the back of certain roll and perforated paper, will be detected as the end of a page.

‘No Feed’ mode ignores all Form Feed commands, and does not advance the paper after printing. This can be of particular help to roll paper users who are printing only partial pages and do not wish to waste additional paper at the end of each document. The page may be manually advanced using the Main Switch.

Auto-On:

When external power is applied to the printer, there are three possible actions that the printer may take.

If Auto-On is set to ‘Disabled’, the printer will place itself in a “sleep” state where minimal power is used. The Main Switch must be pressed to wake the printer up for printing.

If Auto-On is set to ‘Enabled’, the printer will power up as soon as an external
