Page Length Control. Choose page length control system for SASF mode.

Control page length by actual physical page length.

by Menu Setting ................

Page Width. Appears in Menu for wide-carriage model only. Choose a page width of 8” (factory default) or 13.6”.

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. 5 min (factory default), 10 min, 15 min, 30 min, 60 min. Sets the time until the printer enters the power save mode. This setting is effective when the power saving option is enabled.

Power Saving. Enable (factory default) or Disable. Enables or disables the power save mode. When the power save mode is enabled, the printer enters the power save mode when the time set in the Power Save Time option elapses while the printer is idle. The SEL LED flashes and other LED turn off when the printer enters the power save mode.
