88 Configuration
character set settings and options are printed out when you select "Status
Print?" (Page 56) or "Print All Options?" (Page 58).
Initialize SensitivityPressing YES prints out the active setting:
• Low (factory default)
• High
The initialize sensitivity setting applies only to the INIT* signal (Pin 31) on
the parallel interface.
Low: Low sensitivity means that the printer requires an active-low INIT*
pulse of at least 100 ms in order to reset the printer to its power-up default
settings.
In most situations, prefer low sensitivity, especially when using overly long
parallel interface cables (over 10 ft) or when dealing with an electronically
noisy computer-printer connection.
High: High sensitivity means that the printer requires an active-low INIT*
pulse of at least 1.66 µs in order to reset the printer to its power-up default
settings.
Use high sensitivity when the INIT* pulse is short, such as with an IBM
3197 terminal.
Vertical AlignmentPressing YES allows you to adjust the printer's right-versus-left-pass
timing for firing printhead pins. See "Vertical Image Alignment" (Page
110) for the procedure.
