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 infeed
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.
CR-LF Mode:
This command determines what the ESC/P® emulation does
with ASCII characters 10 and 13. These are the ‘line feed’ (LF)
and ‘carriage return’ (CR) characters. The “LF” causes the
printer to move down to the next print line, and the “CR”
causes the printer to move back to the left margin position. In
most cases, these are sent at the ends of lines to position the
printer for the next line of text.
Some host computers send one or the other of these, and some
send both, each hoping to move to the left margin and down
to the next line. You can determine the effect of these
characters when they are received. If your host sends only a
CR or LF to complete each line, you should set this to
LF=CR+LF CR=CR+LF so that both a carriage return (return
to left margin) and line feed are executed when just one of
these control codes is received by the printer.
