Possible Values: No*, Yes
Host FF at TOF No
This item selects whether Form Feeds (FF) will be performed when received from the host computer if the paper is already positioned at the top of form (TOF). Setting this item to No will help prevent blank pages.
Characters
Possible Values: Control*, Printable
Characters Control
This item selects whether certain control character symbols will be printed or be treated as control characters. The effect of this is dependent upon the Emulation selected.
Minimum Buffer
Possible Values: No*, Yes
Minimum Buffer No
This item selects whether the smallest possible I/O buffer should be used. Setting this item to No will allow the printer to make maximum use of the I/O buffer (see “Paper Out Fault” on page 54 for more information on buffer size). Setting this to Yes may decrease performance, but is useful when using the printer with operating systems that try to keep track of which page is currently being printed by the printer. This may also be useful when using serial I/O with systems that do not respond quickly enough to handshake signals.
