Auto line feed

When auto line feed is on, the printer accompanies each carriage return (CR) code received with a line feed (LF) code.

Print direction

You can select bidirectional printing (Bi-D) or unidirectional printing (Uni-D). Printing is normally bidirectional; however, unidirectional printing allows for precise vertical printing alignment.

Software

When you select ESC/P, the printer operates in the EPSON ESC/P mode. When you select IBM PPDS, the printer emulates an IBM printer.

0 slash

The zero character has a slash () 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.

I/F (Interface) mode

The printer provides a slot for an optional interface in addition to its built-in parallel interface, serial interface, and USB interface. You can choose Auto (automatic), Parallel, Serial, USB, or Optional for the interface mode. When you select Auto, the printer automatically selects the interface that is receiving data, and uses that interface until the end of the print job. The Auto setting allows you to share the printer among multiple computers without changing the interface mode.

If only one computer is connected to the printer, you can select Parallel, Serial, USB, or Optional, depending on which interface your computer uses.
