Automatic Carriage Return

This parameter is similar to the automatic LF parameter but is turned on for software that does not send a CR command at the end of each print line. If the printer advances from print line to print line but fails to perform a carriage return operation, you need to turn on the automatic CR parameter. The default setting is NO.

Slashed Zeros

When on, this parameter causes the printer to print slashes over all zeros to distinguish them from the letter O. The default setting is NO.

Hexadecimal Dump Mode

The hexadecimal dump (HEXDUMP) mode causes the printer to print the ASCII (hexadecimal) codes for all text characters, control characters, and escape-sequence commands it receives. The resulting printout can be useful as a troubleshooting device or in analyzing a block of data and commands sent from the host computer.

The printer does not respond to any control characters or commands except when the printer is using the serial or option port and FLOW CONTROL is set to ETX/ACK; in such a case, the printer interprets and responds to an ETX control character as an end-of-text command. The ETX character is also included as part of the hex dump.

Note: Chapter 3 describes ASCII codes and control characters; Chapters 5 and 6 describe the escape-sequence commands for the TI 855 emulation mode.
