Set Options

This command enables down-line control of options affecting barcodes and oversized characters. These settings are non-volatile, and can also be set via the Setup Mode at the front panel.

Differences from Genicom 3840:

Only these options are supported in this printer:

p4 = 25 (backup to top of oversized character)

p4 = 26 (backup to top of barcode)

All other equivalent options are available through the FP4000se, FM8000se and PM850 series front panel Setup Mode.

Ignore Character

This feature is accessible through the OPTIONS MENU from the FP4000se, FM8000se and PM850 series printers front panel Setup Mode. This allows a single 8 bit character to be discarded as it is received. This is useful when the host application is sending an unwanted control character, for example.

To use this feature, refer to the printers Operation Manual and go to chapter Printer Configuration. Refer to the OPTIONS MENU and turn “On” the Ignore Character feature.

Note: This feature should not be left active unless needed.
