Configuring the printer

SLine Mode

If LF = LF + CR is selected, the printer performs a carriage return (CR) for every line feed (LF) received by the interface.

If CR = LF + CR is selected, the printer performs a line feed (LF) for every carriage return (CR) received by the interface.

S$$ Commands

This function causes $$ either to be printed as $$ or to activate ESC commands within an application.

If this function is set to YES the characters are interpreted by the printer in the following way:

S $$ like ESC [ S $$/ like ESC.

STear-off-mode(only for fanfold paper)

There are four possible settings within this mode:

S NO

S YES 10 SEC. S YES 1 SEC.

S NO, SPECIAL

The NO SPECIAL setting is to be used with critical forms which cannot handle the return movement of the paper.

With the YES setting the printer waits for one ore ten seconds and, unless further data is received, moves the paper to the first perforation after the text. Regardless of this setting, whenever changing from fanfold to the manual paper source, the printer will request the fanfold paper to be torn off or at the setting NO SPECIAL to be removed before the paper is moved to the park position.

SPre-separation(is used for the ASF cassettes (printer CI - 4050) only) During normal printing, a sheet of paper is not inserted from an ASF cassette before the preceding sheet has been ejected. By selecting PRE-SEPARATION = YES the sheets follow each other more closely, thereby increasing the printer's throughput.
