The default is Bi-directional. Changing to Uni-directional will

improve the print registration, but slow the print speed.

High Skip

The default is Yes. This enables the low-vibration mode, which

reduces printer vibration during printing. To switch low-vibration

mode off, change this setting to No.

Hi-Impact Copy

The default is Invalid. Change the setting to Valid if you wish the

printer to automatically start up in the Hi-Impact mode when it is

turned on. The Valid setting will not engage the Hi-Impact mode

when the I-Prime (parallel) or Soft_Reset (USB) commands are

received.

Host Interface

Choose the interface mode: Auto Interface [the default], Parallel,

or USB.

I-Prime

The default is Enable: print out the buffer contents when the

I-Prime signal is received. Change to Disable if you wish the

printer to ignore the I-Prime signal.

I/F Time Out

Appears only if Host Interface is set to Auto Interface [the

default].

Choose the amount of time the printer waits (while receiving data)

before going into idle mode: 15 sec [the default], 30 sec, 45 sec, 1

min, 2 min, 3 min, 4 min, or 5 min.

If your software spends a long time processing between portions

of data it feeds to the printer, choose a longer time interval value

to keep your printer from dumping the received data while it is

waiting for more.
