power source is connected to the printer. This can be useful in certain mobile installations where access to the Main Switch is difficult or unavailable.

If Auto-On is set to ‘Enabled-No Main Switch’, the printer will power up as soon as an external power source is connected, and furthermore, the Main Switch cannot be used to turn the printer off. This may be useful in some mobile installations where the button could be accidentally pressed. Power must be disconnected to shut off the printer.

Auto-Off:

When the printer is running on battery power, you may wish to have the printer turn off automatically to conserve the battery. You may choose to disable this feature by selecting ‘None’, or you may select either a 10-minute or 30-minute time-out period. If no data is received within the period selected, the printer will turn itself off.

Pre-Feed:

When the printer is powered on and paper is found in the paper input slot area, the printer will normally advance the paper a short distance. This is the default ‘Enabled’ operation of the printer. However, roll paper users who leave paper loaded while powering the printer up/down may find that this is inconvenient as it will misregister the top of form on pre-printed and perforated roll paper. Those users will likely wish to ‘Disable’ this feature.
