Line Spacing. 6 lpi (factory default) or 8 lpi. Choose 8 lines per inch for tighter line spacing, to get more lines per page.
Operator Panel Function. Full Operation (factory default) or Limited Operation. Change to Limited Operation to deactivate the PRINT QUARITY and CHARACTER PITCH buttons on the control panel. Then you can control these features only through your software. This can be useful when several people are using the printer and you don’t want its settings changed.
Important! This feature also prevents access to the Menu. To access the Menu, turn the printer off, then hold down the SEL key while turning on the printer.

by Actual Page Length ..... | Control page length by actual physical page length. |
by Menu Setting ................ | Control page length by logical page length. |
Page Width. Appears in Menu for
Paper out Override. No (factory default) or Yes. The paper out detector senses when less than an inch of paper remains in the printer and stops printing at that point. Changing this setting to Yes overrides the detector so you can print closer to the bottom of the page if you’re using single sheets. Be careful if you use this feature: it lets the printer continue printing when there’s no more paper, which can cause loss of data and may damage the printhead.
Parity. Appears only if optional Serial Interface is installed. None (factory default), Odd, or Even. Selects the type of parity your system uses.
Pin 18. +5V (factory default) or Open. Sets the signal on pin 18.
Pitch. 10 cpi (factory default), 12 cpi, 15 cpi, 17.1 cpi, or 20 cpi. Selects the character width measured in characters per inch (cpi).
Power Save Time. 5min (factory default), 10min, 15min, 30min, 60min. Sets the time until the printer enters the power save mode. This setting is effective when the power saving option is enabled.
