Graphic print direction

You can choose unidirectional or bidirectional as the print direction for graphics. The printer usually prints text and graphics bidirectionally for fast printing. To print graphics unidirectionally for precise vertical alignment of print dots select unidirectional printing.

software

You can select the kind of printer commands used by your printer. When you select ESC/P 2,” the printer emulates an EPSON ESC/P 2 printer. When you select IBM@ X24E, the printer operates as an IBM Proprinter” X24E. If possible, choose an EFSON ESC/P 2 printer in your software programs. This will allow you to use the most advanced font and graphics handling available. (Emulation means that the printer can understand and respond to commands as if it were an X24E.)
