Print direction

You can select auto print direction (Auto), bidirectional printing (Bi-D), or unidirectional printing (Uni-D). Printing is normally bidirectional; however, unidirectional printing allows for precise vertical printing alignment.

When set to Auto, the printer analyzes the data and uses unidirectional printing for any lines which require vertical printing alignment.

0 slash

The zero character has a slash () when this feature is set to On; it has no slash (0) when set to Off. The slash allows you to easily distinguish between the uppercase letter “O” and a zero.

Font

This setting allows you to set one of the 12 fonts.

Pitch (cpi)

This setting allows you to set one of six pitches.

Character table

You can select among various character tables. This setting is used when you print without using the printer driver.

When using the printer driver, change the settings on the printer driver. For details, see “Printer Driver Settings Overview” on page 47.

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.
