Printing Preferences

If the printer icon in the printers folder is clicked with the right mouse button and Printing Preferences selected the various parameters to do with the document may be modified. This dialog box is also usually available from within an application within its printer setup. Note that the current application’s Printing Preferences will over- ride any set by other applications.

Print Mode

This defaults to journal and refers to how the job should be printed. There are three main choices:

Journal Mode. This is a standard mode of Windows op- eration and simply means that the job will be printed on the journal roll with a fixed page length - set in the Paper length box. (Applications can select “Journal” mode when dmPaperSize = 257).

Continuous Mode. This is a special mode of opera- tion which permits the journal roll to be used but without a fixed page length. In practice there is a maximum of approximately 24 inches (600mm) after which the driver will insert top and bottom margins before continuing. To minimize this effect, top and bottom margins should be set to zero in “Continuous” mode. Headers and Foot- ers in this mode will also give unpredictable results and should therefore be avoided. (Applications can select “Continuous” mode when dmPaperSize = 258)

Validation Mode. Selection of this mode will cause the print job to be printed on a Validation slip, which must be manually inserted into the slot in the printer. (Applica- tions can select “Validation” mode when dmPaperSize = 259).

Upside Down

If this box is checked then all jobs will be sent to the printer last line first and upside down. This mode is usu- ally employed when printing on certain validation

jobs. It is not available if “Continuous” mode is selected.

Bill Out Mode

This specifies if the Bill Out setting in the Printer Con- figuration should be used at the end of a document, the end of a page or not at all. The default setting is the end of a document. In most applications the bottom margin setting is used unless it is set to zero, in which case the bill out distance is used.

Horizontal Resolution

This can be set to 160 Dots Per Inch or 80 Dots Per Inch. 160 DPI will yield better printer quality but use more ink than 80 DPI. Graphics and True Type fonts will also print slower at 160 DPI. The InkJet models resident fonts (when used) will also change quality between 80 DPI. (Applications, such as Visual Basic, can use the PrintQuality attribute to select. i.e. vbPRPQHigh and vbPRPQMedium select 160 Dpi mode and vbPRPQLow and vbPRPQDraft select 80 Dpi).

Clicking this button gives version information about the driver.

Printer Commands

This page allows raw printer commands to be sent to the printer in addition to the Windows print job. Since the 5300 printer driver is designed for printers configured for the ACL command language, please refer to the “5300 Printer Series ACL Programming Manual” for a list and description of commands that are available.
