Epson LX-1170 manual Data length, Parallel I/F bidirectional mode, Packet mode, Character table

Data length

Set the data length of the serial interface to 7 bit or 8 bit. See your computer manual and software documentation for the proper setting.

Parallel I/F bidirectional mode

The parallel interface bidirectional transfer mode is used when this feature is turned 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.

Character table

You can select from among 13 to 35 standard character tables, depending on the country of purchase. See “Electronic” on page 110 for more information on the 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.

Auto CR (carriage return)

This setting is available only in the IBM 2380 Plus (for LX-300+)/IBM 2381 Plus (for LX-1170) 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.
