Packet mode

Make sure to select AUTO to print from Windows applications using the printer driver included in the software CD-ROM that comes with the printer. Turn off this mode if you encounter connection problems when you are printing from applications based on other operating systems such as DOS.

Character table

You can select among various character tables.

International character set for Italic table

You can select among several international character sets for the Italic character table. Each character set contains eight characters that vary depending on the country or language, so you can customize the Italic table to suit your printing needs.

Font

You can select six fonts in the Default Setting mode. The font selected here appears under Others on the control panel. The fonts indicated on the control panel cannot be selected in the Default Setting mode.

Auto CR (carriage return)

This setting is available only in the 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 code. This moves the print position to the beginning of the next line.

A.G.M. (Alternate Graphic Mode)

This setting is available only in the IBM PPDS emulation mode. When A.G.M. is on, the printer can use some advanced graphics commands like those available in the ESC/P2 mode.
