Serial data length

This setting is available only when data is transferred via a serial interface. Set the data length of the serial interface to 8-bit or

7-bit. See your computer manual and software documentation for the proper setting.

Character table

You can select among various character tables including several international character sets for the italic character table. This setting is used when you print without using the printer driver.

When using the printer driver, change the settings on the printer driver. For details, see “Printer Driver Settings Overview” on page 54.

Auto CR (IBM PPDS)

This setting is available only in IBM PPDS emulation mode. When auto carriage return is on, each line feed (LF) code or ESC J code is accompanied by a carriage return (CR) code so the printer moves the next printing position to the left margin. When this setting is off, you must send a CR code after the line feed code to move the printing position to the left margin.

IBM character table (IBM PPDS)

This setting is available only in IBM PPDS emulation mode. You can select Table 2 or Table 1 for the IBM character table.

Buzzer

The printer beeps when an error occurs. See “Using the error indicators” on page 105 for more information on printer errors. If you do not want the printer to beep when an error occurs, turn off this setting.
