Print direction

You can select auto print direction (Auto), bidirectional printing (Bi-D), or unidirectional printing (Uni-D). Printing is normally bidirectional for faster printing; however, unidirectional printing allows for precise vertical printing alignment, which is useful for printing graphics.

When set to Auto, the printer analyzes the data and uses unidirectional printing only for any lines which require vertical printing alignment.

Software

When you select ESC/P2, the printer operates in the EPSON ESC/P2 mode. When you select IBM 2390 Plus, the printer emulates an IBM printer.

0 slash

The zero character has a slash (0) when this feature is on. It has no slash (0) when this feature is off. The slash allows you to easily distinguish between the uppercase letter “O” and a zero.

High speed draft

When you choose On, the printer prints up to 413 cps (characters per second) at 10 cpi (characters per inch). When you choose Off, the printer prints up to 310 cps at 10 cpi.
