If “ETX/ACK” is set to “On” in the serial interface setup menu, then receipt of an ETX causes the printer to transmit an ACK to the host computer.

Since the ETX may be a legal value within an escape sequence, it is the user's responsibility to ensure that an ETX used for data handshake is not sent within an escape sequence. The user must also ensure that the maximum block size or the number of blocks sent at one time does not exceed the input buffer size of the printer.

ETX/ACK handshake is available only with serial I/O.

Set Character Size

Sets the scaling of the oversize characters in percentage points. Pv is the vertical expansion, and Ph is the horizontal. The base font is a 10-point font. These settings are non-volatile, and should be set once before using the oversize font.

Differences from Genicom 3840 and 3410:

All Oversized Character features are supported. Expanded Mode is not supported in this printer.

Software Options That Affect Oversized Printing

Software Options are selected under the FormsPro, FormsMaster or PrintMaster series printer front panel Setup feature. These settings are non-volatile. One of these options affects Oversized Mode:
