Auto I/F (interface) wait time

This setting takes effect only if an optional interface is installed and the auto interface mode is selected. This setting determines how long the printer waits when it no longer receives data from an interface before it checks whether a print job is being sent through the other interface. You can specify 10 seconds or 30 seconds for the auto interface wait time.

Parallel I/F bidirectional mode

The Parallel Interface bidirectional transfer mode is used when this feature is on. If bidirectional transfer mode is unnecessary, turn this off.

Packet mode

Select Auto to use the IEEE-1284.4 packet transfer mode. If packet transfer mode is unnecessary, or if you cannot connect, turn this off.

Auto CR (carriage return)

This setting is available only in IBM 2390 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.

A.G.M. (Alternate Graphic Mode)

When A.G.M. is on, the printer can use some advanced graphics commands like those available in ESC/P2 mode. When you select IBM 2390 mode, this setting is available. The default setting is off.

Character table

You can select among 13 standard character tables as well as tables for 23 other countries. See Appendix C for character samples.
