Default settings

This section describes all the features in the default-setting mode.

Character spacing

When you select 10 cpi, the printer prints 10 characters per inch (cpi). When you select 12 cpi, it prints 12 characters per inch.

Shape of zero

The printer prints the zero character with a slash (8) when the setting is on, or no slash (0) when the setting is off. The slashed zero allows you to easily distinguish between an uppercase “O” and a zero when printing such items as program lists.

Skip-over-perforation

When you turn on this feature, the printer skips over the perforations of continuous paper, providing a l-inch margin between the last line printed on one page and the first line printed on the next. Because most software programs set their own top and bottom margins, you should use this feature only if your program does not provide them. This feature does not affect single-sheet paper.

Tear-off position

When you use continuous paper with the push tractor, this feature advances the paper perforation to the tear-off position where you can easily tear off the printed page. When the printer receives data, it automatically reverses the paper to the top-of-form position and starts printing, so you can use all of the next sheet.

You can choose from two tear-off positions with the feature. If you select On cutter, the printer feeds the paper perforation to the edge of the printer cover. If you select Above cutter, the printer feeds the perforation about 80 mm (3 inches) beyond the printer cover’s edge.

Auto line feed

When the auto line feed feature is on, each carriage return (CR) code is accompanied by a line feed (LF) code. If your printed text is unexpectedly double-spaced, set this feature to off. If text lines print on top of each other, set it to on.

Back feed

When you set this feature to Disable, the printer never feeds paper backward.

The printer does not feed paper to the paper-park position even if you press the LF/FF and FONT buttons.

The tear-off feature is disabled.

The printer does not feed paper back to the paper-park position and then advance it to the top-of-form position between jobs even if paper is loaded when you turn on the printer.

Set this feature to Disable when you use labels, or when you do not want to tear off continuous paper after each print job.

Character table

Page length

This option is available only when you use continuous paper with the push tractor. You can set the page length to 8.5, 11, 12, or 70/6 (A4) inches.

TOF (top-of-form) position

Whenever you press the LF/FF button or send the form feed command, the printer loads paper to the top-of-form (TOF) position. The TOF position is factory set to the ±0 position (8.5 mm - 0.33 inch - from the top edge of paper). You can set this position from - 3 to +3 in l-mm (0.04-inch) increments.
