Note:

Most application software controls the character table and auto line feed. lf your software controls these features, you may never need to set them with the control panel.

Default-setting descriptions

Character table

Character tables contain the characters and symbols used by different languages. The printer prints text with the selected character table.

Auto print direction

The printer ordinarily prints text bidirectionally for speed and prints graphics characters unidirectionally for precise vertical alignment.

When auto print direction is set to on, the printer switches automatically between bidirectional (for text data) and unidirectional motion (for graphics data). When this feature is set to off, the print head motion is controlled by your software.

Network interface mode

If your printer is connected to a single computer, leave this feature off. If you want to use the printer in a network and share it among multiple computers, set this feature to on.

When this feature is set to on, data may be present in the printer’s buffer even though the printer is not continuously printing. Always make sure the data light is off before turning off the printer.
