Input buffer

The input buffer stores up to 32KB of data sent from your computer, freeing your computer for other tasks while the printer prints. When the buffer is off, the buffer cannot store data, so the computer must wait for the printer to print each character before sending the next character.

Buzzer (beeper)

The printer beeps when an error occurs. See page 7-2 for more information on printer errors. If you do not want the printer to beep when an error occurs, turn off this setting.

Auto CR (carriage return)

5

 

This setting is available only in IBM 2380 Plus/2381 Plus 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

This setting is available only in IBM 2380 Plus/2381 Plus emulation mode. When you select Table 1, hex codes 00H to 1FH and 80H to 9FH of the character tables are used for the control codes. When you select Table 2, hex codes 00H to 1FH are used for the control codes and 80H to 9FH are used for characters. See Appendix C for character samples.
