Changing Hardware Options

Changing

HARDWRE defines printer hardware conditions. If you are using the

Hardware

optional RS-232C serial interface, serial interface options must be set

Options

correctly for the printer to function with system hardware.

Table 8-4 lists HARDWRE items and options in the order they are

 

 

printed. The procedure for changing hardware options follows

 

Table 8-4.

Description

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

<PPR-OUT>

 

 

Specifies how the printer responds to a paper outage.

 

CNTONLY

 

The printer detects paper outage only for continuous

 

 

 

forms. Printing stops, and the PAPER OUT indicator (or

 

 

 

ALARM indicator) glows amber.

 

DETECT

 

The printer detects paper outage for both continuous

 

 

 

forms and cut sheets. Printing stops, and the PAPER

 

 

 

OUT indicator (or ALARM indicator) glows amber.

 

IGNORE

 

The printer ignores paper outage for both continuous

 

 

 

forms and cutsheets. Printing continues until no more

 

 

 

data remains. No PAPER OUT (or ALARM) warning

 

 

 

occurs.

 

 

 

Note:

 

 

 

For cut-sheet feeders, printing stops, and the PAPER

 

 

 

OUT (or ALARM indicator) indicator glows amber,

 

 

 

regardless of the <PPR-OUT> setting.

 

 

 

 

<PRT-DIR>

BI-DIR

 

The printer performs bidirectional printing in both

 

 

 

directions while seeking the next print direction, this

 

UNI-DIR

 

option is used for a shorter print time.

 

 

The printer performs unidirectional printing. This feature

 

 

 

is useful for printing vertical lines in tables even if vertical

 

 

 

alignment is not adjusted. Printing is slower than

 

 

 

bidirectional printing.

 

 

 

 

<BUZZER>

 

 

Enables or disables the printer status buzzer.

 

ON

 

Buzzer is on. This setting is recommended. The printer

 

 

 

beeps to indicate paper outages and other conditions.

 

OFF

 

Buzzer is off.
