Setup Menus, Controls, and Indicators

If you select System, then formatting of LU1 or LU3 will not be handled by the display. In addition, CPI/LPI menu information will not be used to initialize the printer, and there will not be automatic form feed or new line performed by the display.

You can configure the printer to suppress an automatic line feed by selecting one of the following options:

CR at maximum print position + 1 – If you select Yes for this option, when the printer reaches the maximum line position + 1 (the end of the print line), the carriage returns to the beginning of the line without a line feed. The next printed characters will overwrite the current line of printed characters.

If you select No (the default) for this option, when the printer reaches the end of the line, the carriage returns to the beginning of the line and drops down one line.

FF at print end – If you select Yes for this option, the printer does not execute a line feed after a form feed.

If you select No (the default) for this option, the printer executes a line feed after a form feed. Characters printed on the new page begin on the second line.

NL at maximum print position + 1 – If you select Yes for this option, the printer does not execute a line feed if there is a new line command at the maximum print position + 1 (the end of the print line). The printer begins printing on the next line.

If you select No (the default) for this option, when the printer reaches the end of the line, it executes two line feeds.
