Compaq 5531, 5532, 5525B user manual Overstrike, Define LF Code, Select Sfcc

P-Series Emulation

Overstrike

•Enable. Common dots appear darker in characters printed over each other, as shown below. The print position moves one-half dot to the right. Overstrike printing occurs at a decreased speed.

•Disable. If you are using a control code for overstrike, but it is disabled in the printer control panel, no bolding will occur.

Define LF Code

•LF = CR + LF. Forces an automatic carriage return with each line feed command. The next print position is print position 1 of the next line.

•LF = LF. Does not perform an automatic carriage return. The next print position will be the current print position of the next line.

Select SFCC

This parameter allows you to select which ASCII codes will function as the Special Function Control Code (SFCC) command delimiter. P-Series codes can use hex 00 through hex 7F. Options include the following:

•ESC (hex 1B)

•SOH (hex 01)

•ETX (hex 03)

•CIRCUMFLEX (hex 5E)—also called caret (^)

•TILDE (hex 7E)—(~)

NOTE: SOH, ETX and ESC are non-printables. The characters (^) and

(~)are printable; however, do not use them as printables in the host data stream if either is chosen as a delimiter, or print errors will occur.
