Auto CR (carriage return)

This setting is available only in IBM 2380 Plus emulation mode. When auto carriage return is on, each line feed (LF) code or ESC J code is accompanied by a carriage return code. This moves the print position to the beginning of the next line. If the printer adds an extra line after every carriage return, select Off.

Baud rate

When you use the serial interface, you need to set the baud rate or serial data transfer speed in bits per second (bps). The printer communicates with your computer at the specified rate.

Parity

Set the parity (a method of error detection) for serial data transfer if you are using the serial interface.

Check your computer manual or application program for the correct parity setting. Your computer and printer should always be set to the same parity setting.

IBM character table

This setting is available only in IBM 2380 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.
