Network interface mode. If you’re having trouble printing when the printer is connected to multiple computers, turn on network interface mode. By default, network interface mode is off.

Auto line feed. Specifies that a carriage return character encountered in the print file be accompanied by a line feed command. By default, auto line feed is off. If text lines print on top of one another, turn on auto line feed.

Loading position. Determines the top margin by defining how close to the paper edge the first line can print. The loading position can be 3 mm (default) or 8.5 mm. Normally you should use your software to adjust your top margin.

Interface mode. Determines from which interface the printer receives print data. By default, the printer automatically switches as needed between the parallel, serial, and optional interfaces. However, if you are experiencing communication problems, you might want to set the interface mode to one of the following: Parallel, Serial, or Optional.

Auto interface wait mode. Determines the interface timeout period, either 10 or 30 seconds, when the Auto I/F mode is selected for the Interface mode option. The printer does not accept data from another interface for the period defined.

Character table. Selects the set of characters and symbols that can be printed. The default is the U.S.A. character table. If you commonly use a language containing accents, symbols, or other characters not available in the U.S.A. character table, change to a different character table.

To turn on Default setting mode and print instructions, turn off the printer. Then hold down the Economy/Condensed button while you turn the printer back on. Follow the instructions that describe how to change the default settings by pressing the buttons on the control panel. When you are finished, press Pause and turn off the printer to exit the Default setting mode.
