Operator Panel Function, Default = Full Operation

Change to Limited Operation to deactivate the PRINT QUALITY and CHARACTER PITCH buttons, so that these features can only be controlled through your software. This prevents these from being changed from the control panel when several people are using the printer.

Important!

This feature also prevents access to the Menu. To access the Menu in these circumstances, turn the printer off, then hold down the SEL key while turning on the printer.

Page Length, Default = 11"

Selects the length of the paper you are using. This enables the printer to keep track of the initial printing position (TOF) on each page.

Page Length Control, Default = by Menu Setting

Change the setting to “by Actual Page Length” if you wish to print on single-sheets longer than 17 inches. When “by Actual Page Length” is selected, the menu setting for Top Feed Page Length is ignored.

Page Width, Default = 8"

Wide carriage model only. Change to 13.6" to print on wide paper.

Paper Out Override, Default = No

Senses when less than 1" (25 mm) of paper remains and stops printing. Change to Yes to override the sensor and print closer to the bottom of the page.

Caution!!

Engaging Paper Out Override can cause loss of data and damage the printhead by allowing printing without paper.

Parity, Default = None

Appears only when the optional Serial Interface is installed. Selects the type of parity your system uses: None, Odd or Even.

Pin 18, Default = +5V

Sets the signal on pin 18 to +5 volts or open.

Pitch, Default = 10 cpi

Choose the character width, in characters per inch (cpi).
