Auto tear-off
When auto tear-off is on and you are using continuous paper with the front or rear push tractor, the printer advances the paper perforation to the tear-off position. When the printer receives data again, it moves the paper back to the top-of-form position and starts printing, so you can use all of the next page.
When auto tear-off is off and you are using continuous paper with the front or rear push tractor, you need to move the perforation to the tear-off position manually by pressing the Tear Off/Bin button. See “Adjusting the tear-off position” on page 2-27 for more information.
Auto tear-off wait time
When the printer is in Okidata mode, this option lets you specify how long to wait before the printer advances the paper perforation to the tear-off position.
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 auto print direction, bidirectional printing (Bi-D), or unidirectional printing (Uni-D). Printing is normally bidirectional; however, unidirectional printing allows for precise vertical printing alignment.
Software
Select ESC/P to operate the printer in EPSON ESC/P mode. Select IBM PPDS to make the printer emulate 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.
